Key objectives are to 1) Promote greater understanding of the potential or limits of interventions to promote poverty reduction and conflict/fragility-mitigation; 2) Encourage the development of more meaningful measures of poverty reduction and conflict/fragility-mitigation impacts; and 3) Promote cross-community learning and problem-solving in the area of evaluation and assessment among the poverty and conflict/fragile states communities. Grant activities will be implemented over an 18 month period, with grants being managed by The QED Group LLC in partnership with USAID’s PASSN team. Read more.
