Work package 2 will assess how community wealth building has already been implemented in local authorities in Scotland.  In work package 2, the study team will firstly identify existing available metrics (scores that tell us what's improving or getting worse) to tell us more about community wealth building in Scotland.​ These metrics may be indicators such as the extent of local ownership and participation in the economy; fairness, inclusivity, and quality of job creation; levels of support for diverse forms of business ownership, including cooperatives, social enterprises, and municipally owned entities; financial flows to benefit local economies, such as through local investment strategies; and whether use of land and property benefit the community and promotes equitable development. Then, 60 qualitative interviews with people involved in delivering community wealth building in Scotland will be carried out. These interviews aim to understand the levels of implementation (how community wealth building plans have been put into action so far) and gather information on what has worked well and what has been more challenging in implementing community wealth building in Scotland. Lastly, and based on the theory of change developed in work package 1, and findings from the qualitative interviews, a survey of all local authorities in Scotland will be carried out to gather information about community wealth building implementation and whether conditions (plans, guidelines, or systems) deemed important to the success of community wealth building are in place in each local authority.
