The Women Building Peace: Sharing Know-How workshop on Assessing Impact was held in London in July 2004. The meeting brought together women from conflict and transition contexts in Africa (including Uganda, Sudan, and Somalia), the Middle East (Israel), South Asia (Nepal), the Caucasus (Georgia and Abkhazia) and South America (Colombia).
The workshop brought to an end the current phase of the Women Building Peace: Sharing Know-How component of International Alert’s Gender and Peacebuilding Programme. The meeting aimed to identify how women peace activists and practitioners measure the impact of their work, both for their own internal goal-setting and planning purposes, and as a means of communicating their achievements and experiences to their stakeholders. Critical questions informing the workshop included: How do women implement, monitor and evaluate their activities? What tools do they use for monitoring and evaluation? What lessons have they learned? How do women plan for miracles?
