Thread:Impact Assessment of BDS and Training Programmes (10)

Dear Jealous

Thanks for your elaborative response. Yes impact assessment on BDS interventions is one of the most debatable   issues. Another issue is time frame. According to the DCED standards, the standard time frame for impact assessment is 2 years. another critical issue is attribution which you have raised / questioned in your respond. I totally agree with you that actual result attribution is another challenge. Without our particular interventions there might be many other interventions and supports, therefore  while attributing the results/ impacts we have to consider the element of “coping in” and “crowding in “aspects. As per the DCED guideline/ standards, if it is possible we need to distinguish the direct and indirect results in our result chain logic.

Dear all, Please  visit the webpage www.enterprise-development.org for more DCED guideline and result measurement standards.

With best regards, Ekanath
