Impact measurement
Impact measurement in agriculture and rural development remains a challenge for many cooperation agencies. Sound methodological approaches aiming at improving accountability as well as evidence-based decision making processes are required.
The ARD network would like to facilitate the exchange on good methods and competent partners within its members and provide relevant inputs for national and global policy debates. To do so, the network will search for linkages with existing fora working on that issue (community of practice in Switzerland, Global Donor Platform on Rural Development, etc..).
