Hi Stefan, Based on my experience in order to measure this (in an outcome evaluation) you would have to build steps into the project before you start (determine the nature of the evaluation, establish which variables should be measured, how they should be operationalized, etc.).
Does MSF or UNAID not conduct their own program evaluations? Do they not need such metrics for their own purposes (e.g. funding, accountability)? Perhaps they do but these documents are white papers and for internal use only.
