Country-led development based on sustained impacts data is key to success. Valuing Voices means listening to stakeholders and collaboratively identifying what actual sustainability & impact measures should be.

• We offer one of the largest databases of the “ex-post” evaluations that included fieldwork with a range of stakeholders 2-20 years after project end. We speak and write about these results at various conferences and webinars so we learn from what worked & didn’t;

• Our research showed the value-added of evaluating ex-post sustainability from past projects to inform the next, better projects’ funding, design, implementation, and monitoring/ evaluation;

• Future ex-post preparation can learn from this evaluability checklist;

• Analyzing exit strategies aimed at sustaining impacts changes how we work throughout projects. We believe phasing down and over rather than out over 1+ years, planning with resources, partnerships, capacities, benchmarks yields sustained impact.

Respectful development includes input from the onset from participants and partners, collaborating to support what’s sustainable throughout implementation, and evaluating after closeout of projects and investments. Valuing Voices can help you do this.

Most global aid projects help national stakeholders now… but how can we make results last? 

At Valuing Voices, we value knowledge from from country-nationals as equal experts for sustainable solutions.
