# young people whose self-esteem will increase from extremely low to low during the investment period

25%

SROI category: The outcome would have occurred but only to a limited extent. Based on stakeholder interviews: Most young Aboriginal girls from the Alice Springs Town Camps are considered by local counsellors, schools and other stakeholders to be very shy and have low self-esteem, and to lack the support needed increase their self-esteem.

SROI category: Other organisations and people have some minor role to play in generating the outcome.

Based on stakeholder interviews: Many young people participating in Drum Atweme receive limited support from their family, school and other community programs. Young people are supported and mentored by the Drum Atweme coordinator at each stage of development when required, and the outcomes are closely interlinked. Therefore, the same attribution assumption is applied to all outcomes and at all stages.

# young people whose likelihood of detention/incarceration will reduce from a high likelihood to a moderate likelihood during the investment period

35%

65% of the young people in the performance group surveyed in the August 2013 risk profile were considered medium or high risk of engaging in offending behaviour. Stakeholder interviews confirmed that young people were likely to exhibit anti-social behaviour without the program. Therefore, it is assumed that the inverse (35%) would have not exhibited anti-social behaviour without the program.
