3. Impact AssessmentSeminarPhnom Penh, 2-6 December 2013 • HI’s challenges in terms of impact assessment & evaluation? • Lack of effectiveness: Scattered tools and approach (often too complex for project teams) – no comprehensive commonly shared methodologies for assessment of effects/ results • No guidelines and training on how to do baselines at best possible quality and comparability (except. KAP in MRE) • Resulting in Cross-country and across time incomparability of tools and approaches, and results • Disjoined from global monitoring efforts of disability, Devt. & HA • Lack of commonly agreed generic approach on how to measure “disability or vulnerability in comprehensive way” or capacity development effects within “Access to services” • Across DAD, DAU and DAM • Comparability with globally used or promoted approaches • From a sector perspective, usable by HI and partners
