Across the 1,145 approved Green Army projects, local government was the most common type of Project Host, representing more than 30 per cent (360) of all hosts, followed by environment/heritage organisations at 25 per cent (288), and then state and territory governments at 10 per cent (113) (Figure 11). Figure 11: Project Hosts by organisation type Organisations could nominate to be a Project Host in partnership with another organisation or community group (Figure 12). For the Green Army Program, a partnership meant two or more organisations working together to deliver a project; however, one organisation acted as the lead and completed and submitted the application on behalf of all the organisations. Figure 12: Number of organisations in Project Host partnerships Project Hosts worked to engage with the community through a range of events and community engagement activities to promote the work of the Green Army and share their achievements. They also worked with the community to provide extra training to participants and the implementation of project works. Of the 168 Project Hosts who competed a survey at the completion of their project, 81 per cent (136) stated that they publicised their Green Army project (Figure 13). Of these, 46 per cent used multiple forms of media. Figure 13: How Project Hosts publicised their Green Army project Participant and Project Host surveys On completion of a project, participants and Project Hosts were invited to complete a survey on their experience with the Program. Information captured in the participant surveys included participant training and skills outcomes, and circumstances prior to joining Green Army. Project Hosts were asked about the outcomes of their projects, their level of involvement with their project, and activities they undertook to publicise their project.
