2007 Impact Assessment Practices Survey
Keystone and Alliance Magazine conducted an online survey in 2007 to get the opinions of those on both ends of evaluation, donors and grantees. The results suggest a broad acceptance of the importance of evaluation by donors and grantees alike, though neither group seems to feel it is contributing all that much to grantee effectiveness. This presents donors with a huge opportunity to fund grantees to do it better. If evaluation were properly funded, and if donors did more in terms of following up the findings, it could make all the difference.
