Working paper
Part of ALNAP’s program on Evaluating protection in humanitarian action, this working paper explores the key challenges faced in evaluating of protection in humanitarian action. It will be followed later in 2015 by recommendations on how to meet these challenges. -
Study
This report from the Global Public Policy Institute discusses three questions: how to define humanitarian and human rights protection; how to define success for different types of humanitarian and human rights protection interventions; and how to measure the impact of different protection-oriented interventions. The paper reveals that there are few existing sophisticated attempts at measuring the success of different types of protection interventions. It also proposes further research questions that could address the current lack of common methodology for indicator development and, more generally, to further understanding about what works in protection. -
