CommunitiWorks: Baseline Assessment and Recommendations

Abstract

CW requires assistance in its efforts to evaluate the impact of their microfinancing strategies on their community recipients in Cambodia. Because of its expertise, the George Bush School of Government and Public Affairs, Texas A&M University has been selected to provide the necessary assistance. Given the recent implementation of CW Cambodia program, this project must be viewed from a multi-year perspective. Assistance will be required over a number of years. The Bush School is committed to providing assistance through year-long capstones. Hence, the purpose of this project is to recommend strategies for evaluating the impact of CW's community-based financing strategies in Cambodia. This project will provide the foundation for comprehensive evaluations of CW's efforts in Cambodia in near future.
