Knowledge Brokering, the Measurement & Human
Rights Program's primary project, continues to develop.

Measurement can serve human rights organizations in three key ways:
|
-
Accurately describe the size of the problem an organization is working on, in
order to attract funds, communicate priorities, and advocate for change.
-
Effectively anticipate and identify changes to the problem, in order to track
overall success of organizations in the field.
-
Carefully measure impact and successfully adjust the organization’s
strategy based upon causal relationships.
