Tufts: Feinstein International Center: Impact Assessment of Innovative Humanitarian projects in Sub-Saharan Africa

This is the first in a series of four field studies which makes extensive use of participatory impact assessment methodologies in seeking to answer a simple question: What actually is the true impact of humanitarian assistance?

Partnering with five major NGOs and seven assistance programs in Africa this research seeks to understand not just the expected impact but the total impact of a variety of humanitarian interventions. Early in 2008 the project will also be publishing a tool box of PIA field tested techniques for use in impact assessments.
