Attributing Development Impact: The qualitative impact protocol case book

Substantiating cause and effect is one of the great conundrums for those aiming to have a social impact, be they an NGO, SII fund, or multinational corporation. All face the same quandary: how do you know whether or how you contributed to an observed social change? The Qualitative Impact Protocol (QuIP) was researched and developed at the Centre for Development Studies in an effort to tackle this attribution challenge. Attributing Development Impact: The Qualitative Impact Protocol Case Book sets out case studies across seven countries (Ethiopia, India, Malawi, Mexico, Tanzania, Uganda and UK) where the QuIP has been used by a range of organisations involved in development - private sector, public sector, and civil society to elucidate their role in social change. 
 This book shares the real-life experiences of organisations in the field tackling the attribution problem , exploring the measures they took to overcome various challenges, and illuminating the results they could not have obtained otherwise. QuIP is at the heart of this story, and this book will help practitioners determine when and how to use it effectively.

Traditionally the primary function of NGOs has been confined to mitigating the effects of war by providing humanitarian aid and protection on the peripheries of violent conflict. However, in recent years there has been an increased focus on the impact of humanitarian aid in general, and to a lesser extent on the impact of aid on conflict and peace dynamics. Drawing on research and contemporary writing on conflict, NGOs, and peacebuilding, this book provides an overview of key theoretical and policy debates surrounding the changing role of NGOs and donors in conflict. It also highlights the main research findings and outlines the implications for improving policy and practice
