dc.description.abstractPressures to demonstrate that international aid makes a difference, and to learn what components of a program work best, are important for assessing impacts in international volunteer cooperation (IVC) programs. This paper begins to address some gaps in accountability by identifying key questions and methodological strategies organizations can use when developing impact assessments. Judgments about the worth of specific interventions in real settings can be formulated. Although questions about broader, distant results warn against focusing on the local and immediate, both are needed to make sense of system boundaries and interactions, and to provide means to achieve large-scale, system-wide goals.en
