Thank you @steph_boustany for the interview and to @UNDPArabStates and @knowledge4All1 for inviting me to the #KnowTalks to discuss the needs of the most vulnerable populations!

It was great to discuss multidimensional #poverty and implications for #labor market policies yesterday during the Frankfurt #bookfair #Buchmesse ! If you are interested in the key points, please connect and I will share a blog post on it shortly.

2/2 Manchmal hört man: "das ist zu aufwändig", "das geht nicht im non-profit Sektor". Aus Erfahrung weiß ich: das geht in Ländern wie Ägypten, Kenya, Indien, Peru etc. Ich bin mir sicher: das geht auch in Deutschland!! Man muss es nur wollen...

Danke @OnPurposeDE, dass ihr dem Thema Wirkungsmessung bei Euren Trainings einen Platz einräumt! Soziale Wirkungen von Projekten und Politik zu messen ist nicht immer einfach, aber ungeheuer wichtig! Lasst uns die Latte höher legen und den sozialen Sektor professionalisieren! 1/2

[Kevin Hempel @KevHempel]

Vor ziemlich genau einem Jahr gab es an dieser Stelle schon mal eine Diskussion zu dem Thema mit @sozialpr @sozialewirkung @danbar87. Jetzt habe ich endlich mal ein paar konkrete Vorschläge aufschreiben können ;-)

[Kevin Hempel @KevHempel]

Wo "Wirkt!" draufsteht, sollte auch "Wirkt!" drin sein... @PHINEOgAG scheint sich bei der Analyse und Kommunikation der Wirksamkeit gemeinnütziger Organisationen nur unzureichend auf rigorose Wirkungsevaluierung zu stützen. Hier ein paar Verbesserungsvorschläge...

[Kevin Hempel @KevHempel]

The quality of service delivery matters, from supermarkets to labor market programs. If we want to maximize the impact of employment promotion initiatives, we must invest in good customer experience and make policies & programs (more) people centric: https://t.co/MhrdX1ykHT

Can rapid learning evaluations make rigorous #impact #evaluation more attractive to program managers in German development agencies? https://t.co/iiwKQu1GZh
