This is Dr. Amadou Issaka again (Message 3).



I agree with Dr. Atse M. Yapi (Message 21) in the sense that impact cannot be attributed to the sole project in a target area. The problem we face is, very often, donors, governments and other policy-makers ask impact assessment specialists to demonstrate (quality/or quantity) what is attributed to the intervention. In addition to that, one of the challenge is how to please or to satisfy everyone regarding your assessment findings, whatever the methodology used. In the past, evaluation is done on demand, while nowadays it is done "if you want to survive".
