Blogging about development aid
Duncan Green keeps a very informing and interesting blog about all kinds of topics related to development aid:
Outcome Harvesting in a nutshell
including links to its sources
Outcome Harvesting is the new booming methodology to use in development aid in order to find systematically tell the tale of your organisation's achievements (or better yet: your organisation's contributions) to the changes in the world (hopefully for the better).
Shrinking Space for Civil Society
Shrinking Space is a term which is coined more and more often among Civil Society Organisations and even some government departments in some countries dare to confirm there is a shrinking space for Civil Society to operate. The organisations then mainly talk about situations in the so-called less developed countries of the world.
Inclusie op de werkvloer
Jitske Kramer op TedX
Een interessante en leuke presentatie door Jitske Kramer op TedX Almere over: hoe werkt dat nou diversiteit en inclusie op de werkvloer? Een belangrijke vraag waar veel organisaties mee stoeien, niet alleen om een diverse organisatie te creeeren (want daardoor wordt je als organisatie wendbaarder en weerbaarder tegen crises), maar ook om in een diverse organisatie te zorgen voor inclusie van verschillen tussen mensen.
Jitske komt met 8 tips.
How the world works
Chris Blattman has written a very nice blog about the questions to pose when setting up projects and programmes and when evaluating them: "Why “what works?” is the wrong question: Evaluating ideas not programs".
Focus Group Discussion
Evaluation method: gathering qualitative data
A very nice method to gather qualitative data in an evaluation including "field work" is the Focus Group Discussion. It can give insights into the why of more quantitative data. Additionally, as it is a qualitative interview with a group of people, it can also give you more insight into group dynamics.
The SocialCops Blog gives a very nice explanation of the when and howto of a Focus Group Discussion: http://blog.socialcops.com/resources/conduct-successful-focus-group-discussion

Saba Qaiser survived an attempt on her life by her own father and uncle in a so-called 'honor killing' and Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy made a documentary out of her story and thus gained important exposure to the presence of honor killings and its implications in Pakistani and other cultures. The documentary A Girl in the River: The Price of Forgiveness is nominated for an Oscar in the Academy Awards.

Keep Dancing a tribute to old age
A short movie to remember
The short movie "Keep Dancing" by Greg Vander Veer about two professional balletdansers Marge Champion and Donald Saddler is a beautiful tribute to aging and old age.
Watch it while it is still free to do so.
