Impact Assessments

The Millennium Development Goals have established a vital dialogue between donors and beneficiaries, creating a shift in how we evaluate program effectiveness. In today's interconnected world, issues like climate change, pandemic prevention, and human trafficking are trans-boundary challenges that affect us all globally.

Consequently, donors are increasingly focused on the performance of social development programmes, demanding clear evidence of sustainable progress towards long-term objectives.

"Behavioral change is probably the single most difficult objective communicators are asked to undertake. How beneficiaries regard the program and what they think is beneficial is often overlooked. The question is: how can we use beneficiary perceptions to make programs more effective? In other words, make the beneficiary an active participant in the process."
