About the Conference

This conference will introduce a number of current issues related to evaluation and results measurement.

Speakers will explore and share experiences and challenges in evaluation both in individual projects and more complex programs.

The conference will feature three sessions. The first will address the question "Is there a "State of the Art" in measuring development effectiveness ?" The second and third sessions will be panel discussions focusing on concrete examples on measuring the impact of development programs in Health and Environment.

The panels will also address the questions: "What constitutes good practice in measuring the development effectiveness of health/environment projects and programs? How are countries and the donor community doing? What is needed going forward?"
