INTRAC Impact Assessment - July 2014

NGOs and CSOs are under growing pressure to assess the impact of their development efforts. They need to be able to justify their spending, learn to become more effective and, not least, to be accountable to their stakeholders.<br>
<br>
This course explores some of the different approaches to impact assessment that can be used by NGOs; the value of planning for impact; and how to build impact assessment into existing structures and systems. It also offers an opportunity to experiment with a number of tools and methods, and with how to use findings for organisational learning.<br>
<br>
<b>Objectives of the course</b><br>

At the end of the course, participants will be able to:<br>
<br>
• Have developed a common understanding of what is meant by impact assessment in the NGO context and how it differs from and complements the processes of monitoring and evaluation<br>
