Astha Ramaiya Co-author Article in Journal of Adolescence

The article, led by Linnea Zimmerman examines how opportunity structures (parental influence and neighborhood context) affects individual agency among boys and girls in Kinshasa, DRC. We used longitudinal data to identify three distinct groups for boys and girls in each domain. Parental monitoring was associated with the development of both domains for boys, but showed no association for girls. Conversely, parental closeness was more strongly associated with development for girls, than for boys. Neighborhood safety was associated with greater Voice and Freedom of Movement for both boys and girls.

الأعزاء جميعا

أرغب بطرح سؤال هام للمناقشة، يعبر عن تحدي واقعي في مجال التقييم، وغرضه تبادل الخبرات والمعرفة وتباحث الحلول وتطويرها.

السؤال: كيف لنا أن نجري تقييم للأثر المجتمعي (ٍSocial impact) لأي تدخل إنساني تنموي في مناطق النزاع التي فيها المتغيرات مستمرة وكبيرة من حيث النزوح والتغييرات الديموغرافية؟؟ وهو أحد التحديات التي يصعب فيها عملية القياس؟؟

Hi Mamoun, Greetings! Sorry I don't know Arabic. I used google translate. Please confirm if I have the right question. Please confirm. then we can post it in the remaining community

Question: How do we conduct a social impact assessment of any humanitarian development intervention in conflict zones where the variables are ongoing and significant in terms of displacement and demographic changes? It is one of the challenges that are difficult to measure ??

Hi Rituu, yes this is his question. especially that changes in conflict areas are quick, so social impact can be measured

Yes, we work in an unstable area. we cannot measure the impact on the long term. So, What do you think the best practice of evaluation measurement in this situation?

Hi Mamoun,

If there is a system in place to measure some key indicators especially for health and other social services then a time series analysis may be the best option to measure outcomes. 

مرحبا مأمون
شكرا للسؤال المهم. ربما للمساعدة بالإجابة على هذا السؤال، قد يكون مهما ان نسمع آراء الزملاء ممن عملوا في المشاريع الإنسانية كمشاريع اللاجئين. كيف يمكن لهذه المشاريع أن تقيس اثر مشاريع عاده لاتزيد في مددتها عن ال٦ أشهر. هذا قد يساعدنا في الاجابة على جزء من سؤالك.
مع الشكر
حياة

تحياتي
