The webinar "Community Engagement for Measuring Impact" is part of the series of five webinars called “Community Engagement Days.” The objective of the series is to review achievements, potential and challenges of community engagement for empowerment approaches in rural development and humanitarian interventions and strategies.

This fourth webinar aims at exploring the use of community engagement in qualitative and mixed methods research when assessing the results and impact of development interventions. Speakers will showcase their experiences in using participatory methods to evaluate processes of change, including changes in social norms.

This series is organized by the Dimitra Clubs Team of the Rural Institutions, Services and Empowerment (RISE) Team of the Inclusive Rural Transformation and Gender Equality Division (ESP) at the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) with the support of the Flexible Multi-Partner Mechanism (FMM) and in collaboration with the Belgian Development Cooperation.
