Piloting PIM: report on the introduction of Participatory Impact Monitoring to ACCORD Programmes in Sudan and Ethiopia

This report presents the findings of a six-month pilot initiative undertaken in association with two ACORD (Agency for Co-operation and Research in Development) programmes, in Sudan and Ethiopia and the community groups with which they were working. The purpose of the initiative was to introduce Participatory Impact Monitoring to both programmes. Following the Introduction, Part 2 describes the concept of PIM which is viewed as a participatory methodology based on the development of a monitoring system designed and used by the community for the community.
