I wrote this more than a dozen years ago for open learning material at the Refugee Studies Centre in Oxford. The core ideas in here are much more fully elaborated in the Inter-Agency Guide to Evaluation of Psychosocial Programming in Humanitarian Emergencies that I helped develop, which was published…[Read more]

This is great new Alastair! Have you uploaded the final PDF onto this group? If so, we may want to consider deleting the old version from other groups where it stands now. Also Wietse Tol has kindly agreed to take on the role of hosting this group… it will be great to have a moderator for this important work.
This is excellent news. I believe it was a discussion during Wietse’s webinar that pushed the Guide to the top spot! I’d suggest we leave the draft guide up for posterity, but perhaps amend the description to indicate the newer version that is now on the site!
Hi Alastair, I’ve been looking for the finalized version on the site, but couldnt find it. Do let me know where you have posted it, and certainly share it with this group. We might also be able to do a slider on the frontpage of the site to draw attention to this resource.
Just saw that Amanda’s uploaded it to this group today!

Hi all, I posted the updated version above last month, and I have also asked the hosts to take down the old versions which they have done. If you see the old version posted anywhere do let me and Chathuri know so we can make sure it is deleted. thanks Amanda
