Monitoring and Impact Evaluation to improve the delivery and impact of food safety capacity building efforts
Researchers involved: Clare Narrod (lead) Tarik Chfadi (2012-2014), Daniel Voica (2014-2015), Mark Miller (2015- 2017). Xiaoya Dou (2017-2020), Joon Lee (2019 to present); Ahsanuzzaman (2021 to present); collaborators on specific projects noted below.
This work focuses on developing methods to monitor the impact of Food Safety Capacity building efforts in the short, medium, and long term. Measuring the impact of training and capacity building efforts on food safety is important as it can:
- – document and examine past efforts;
- – justify and galvanize future efforts;
- – identify new focus/improvements for future efforts
