RBA

This short NGO practitioner-oriented article appeared in Monday Developments, the journal of InterAction, the largest umbrella organization of US development and relief NGOs. Based on the case study of our strategic evaluation of Plan Guatemala's transition towards a Rights Based Approach (RBA), the article analyzes the trade offs and challenges involved in implementing RBA for an child-sponsorship based NGO such as Plan, which in the past primarily engaged in service delivery activities.

Present some thoughts on
1.  common metrics in the CTSA consortium:
2.  individual hub metrics for RBA
3.  using qualitative data in RBA
4.  improving collaboration in defining and using metrics at both levels
Acknowledgments to Common Metrics Training Group 1. Discussions in this group brought out many of the points presented here.
