BASIC IMPACT ASSESSMENT AT PROJECT LEVEL
CONTENTS
Summary
This paper examines the underlying principles and basic methods of assessing
impact of development projects. It is often referred to in other texts on the site as
the "Core Text". Many of the methods and techniques outlined in this text are
examined in more detail in the Toolbox; they are also shown in application to
Enterprise Development activities in the Application Guidance Notes and the Case
Studies. All of these sections can be found under the main heading "Information
Resources".
The paper begins with outlining the principles of impact assessment and how these
relate to Enterprise Development interventions. It then goes on to develop a
framework for assessment at project level, and the practical application of this
framework. This is followed by issues to be considered when commissioning and
conducting an impact assessment, including items that should be included in
drawing up Terms of Reference for engagement of external consultants. Finally the
paper looks in more detail at the main methods of assessing impact, advantages
and disadvantages of these, and the kinds of situation to which each is most suited.
