"Measures of Success" is a practical, hands-on guide to designing,
managing, and measuring the impacts of community-oriented
conservation and development projects. It presents a simple, clear,
logical, and yet comprehensive approach to developing and
implementing effective programs, and can help conservation and
development practitioners use principles of adaptive management to
test assumptions about their projects and learn from the
results.The book presents a systematic approach to improving the
focus, effectiveness, and efficiency of projects, with specific
guidelines and advice on: designing a realistic conceptual
framework based on local site conditions developing clearly defined
goals, objectives, and activities creating a monitoring plan that
can be used to assess whether goals and objectives are being met
integrating social and biological science techniques to collect the
most relevant and useful data in the most cost-effective way using
the information obtained through the monitoring plan to modify the
project and learn from the resultThe text is developed in eight
chapters that follow the structure of a planning process from
conception to completion, with the chapters linked by four
scenarios that serve as teaching case studies throughout the book.
Examples from these scenarios illustrate the processes and tools
discussed, and each scenario case study is presented in its
entirety in an appendix to the volume. The approach has been
developed and field tested by practitioners working in many
different projects in Latin America, Africa, and Asia, and their
experience and input ensure that the guide is both practical and
useful."Measures of Success" is the only work of its kindcurrently
available, and represents an invaluable resource for field-based
practitioners, project managers, and local community leaders, as
well as for international NGO staff, college and university
teachers and students, researchers, and government officials.
