  • Evidence-Based Policy Cause Area Report
    Evidence-Based Policy Cause Area Report AUTHOR: 11/18 MARINELLA CAPRIATI, DPHIL 1 — Founders Pledge Animal Welfare Executive Summary By supporting increased use of evidence in the governments of low- and middle-income countries, donors can dramatically increase their impact on the lives of people living in poverty. This report explores how focusing on evidence-based policy provides an opportunity for leverage, and presents the most promising organisation we identified in this area. A high-risk/high-return opportunity for leverage In the 2013 report ‘The State of the Poor’, the World Bank reported that, as of 2010, roughly 83% of people in extreme poverty lived in countries classified as ‘lower-middle income’ or below. By far the most resources spent on tackling poverty come from local governments. American think tank the Brookings Institution found that, in 2011, $2.3 trillion of the $2.8 trillion spent on financing development came from domestic government revenues in the countries affected. There are often large differences in the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of social programs— the amount of good done per dollar spent can vary significantly across programs. Employing evidence allows us to identify the most cost-effective social programs. This is useful information for donors choosing which charity to support, but also for governments choosing which programs to implement, and how. This suggests that employing philanthropic funding to improve the effectiveness of policymaking in low- and middle-income countries is likely to constitute an exceptional opportunity for leverage: by supporting the production and use of evidence in low- and middle-income countries, donors can potentially enable policy makers to implement more effective policies, thereby reaching many more people than direct interventions.

    ASSESSING PERFORMANCE OF ANIMAL WELFARE ORGANIZATIONS TO IMPROVE PHILANTHROPIC DECISION-MAKING by Leanne Katherine McConnachie B.A., The University of Victoria, 1988 A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES (Animal Science) The University of British Columbia April 2007 © Leanne Katherine McConnachie, 2007 Abstract In 2005-06, 24 Canadian and American animal welfare organizations (AWOs) and foundations participated in an in-depth qualitative study to establish which performance criteria best determine the effectiveness of AWOs. Participants’ comments resulted in the development of a framework that offers individual donors and foundations a consistent approach to evaluating organizational performance. Termed the PREP Framework, this approach categorizes performance into four key pillars, each with its own components and criteria: 1. Philosophy - the organization’s beliefs and values, as reflected in its mandate, position statements, policies and practices; 2. Red Flags - indicators of problems in the organization, such as excessive personnel turnover, disproportionate management salaries, high administration and fundraising costs, lack of peer collaboration, poor financial statements; 3. Efficiencies - financial and operational conduct of the organization, including long term strategic planning, financial credibility and sustainability; and 4. People - abilities of those involved with the organization, including management, volunteers, peers, donors and board members. The study also explored the pros and cons of standardizing performance evaluation and found that many participants felt the sector would benefit from the use of more quantitative and qualitative benchmarks and standards to establish sector norms and trends. In addition, the research examined the sector’s familiarity with outcome measurement and found most participants struggled to clearly define outcomes for the sector.

Part I Map and Territory A collection of posts dealing with the fundamentals of rationality: the difference between the map and the territory, Bayes’s Theorem and the nature of evidence, why anyone should care about truth, and minds as reflective cognitive engines. 1. The Simple Truth↗ “I remember this paper I wrote on existentialism. My teacher gave it back with an F. She’d underlined true and truth wherever it appeared in the essay, probably about twenty times, with a question mark beside each. She wanted to know what I meant by truth.” — Danielle Egan (journalist) Author’s Foreword: This essay is meant to restore a naive view of truth. Someone says to you: “My miracle snake oil can rid you of lung cancer in just three weeks.” You reply: “Didn’t a clinical study show this claim to be untrue?” The one returns: “This notion of ‘truth’ is quite naive; what do you mean by ‘true’?” Many people, so questioned, don’t know how to answer in exquisitely rigorous detail. Nonetheless they would not be wise to abandon the concept of ‘truth’. There was a time when no one knew the equations of gravity in exquisitely rigorous detail, yet if you walked off a cliff, you would fall. Often I have seen – especially on Internet mailing lists – that amidst other conversation, someone says “X is true”, and then an argument breaks out over the use of the word ‘true’.

    NVSXXX10.1177/0899764014555986Nonprofit and Voluntary Sector QuarterlyGrieco et al. 555986research-article2014 Article Nonprofit and Voluntary Sector Quarterly 1 –21 Measuring Value Creation in © The Author(s) 2014 Reprints and permissions: Social Enterprises: A Cluster sagepub.com/journalsPermissions.nav DOI: 10.1177/0899764014555986 Analysis of Social Impact nvsq.sagepub.com Assessment Models Cecilia Grieco1, Laura Michelini1, and Gennaro Iasevoli1 Abstract The relationship between business and community is becoming increasingly important, especially with the current blurring of the boundaries between profit and not-for-profit sectors, and the growing number of hybrid organizations such as social enterprises. For these organizations, the assessment of social impact plays a strategic role in helping them understand to what extent their social mission has been accomplished. As a result of increasing interest in the practice of Social Impact Assessment (SIA), many models have been developed, but a system to classify them is still lacking, and so the overall picture remains rather fragmentary if not confusing. In this research, a hierarchical cluster analysis was developed based on a sample of 76 SIA models to group them in macro-categories and help social entrepreneurs choose the model that is best suited to the needs of their organization. Keywords social entrepreneurship, social impact, measurement models, value creation, cluster analysis Introduction In recent years, the third sector has begun to acquire the know-how, tools, and models that have traditionally characterized the business world. This has led to the establish- ment of new enterprises defined as “integrated” or “hybrid” that blur the boundaries between the profit and not-for-profit models (Harris, 2012).

  • A Critical Evaluation of Performance Measurement Models in Saudi Arabian Charities
    A CRITICAL EVALUATION OF PERFORMANCE MEASUREMENT MODELS IN SAUDI ARABIAN CHARITIES A thesis submitted to the University of Gloucestershire in accordance with the requirements of the fulfilment degree of Doctor of Philosophy in The Business School By Entisar Hassan Amasha April 2018 ABSTRACT Performance measurement has a pivotal role in developing and improving a performance of an organization, a great deal of previous research into performance measurement has focused on initiating and developing models and frameworks to successfully carry on this task. However, there remains a paucity of evidence on the adequate models that could apply to the non-profit sector. This thesis enriches the existing literature in a distinctive respect, as it provides a holistic view of performance measurement models in various sectors and the critical success factors that influence them. In addition, this study specifically investigates the approaches that Saudi charity organizations conduct their performance evaluation and examines the alternative means that could be appropriate to measure the performance. The result of the thesis theoretical base: Governance Theory highlight the interchange and connection between non-profit governance theory that presents standards and best practices and the performance measurement as a key role of the charity board of directors. The empirical part of this study thoroughly describes the performance measurement practices in Saudi charities, by utilizing a quantitative approach and a questionnaire, the discussion of results provides the researcher with important insights not only to the Saudi charities practices of the evaluation performance but also to the different management aspects of their organizations. The findings of the quantitative and statistical analysis highlight significant features of this kind of organizations, as well their critical factors, challenges and the current attempts to encounter these difficulties, and the advanced plans to develop and improve the charities.

  • Corporate Social Performance
    B&T29596_Erim Omslag Maas_19okt09 CORPORATE SOCIAL PERFORMANCE 182 KAREN MAAS FROM OUTPUT MEASUREMENT TO IMPACT MEASUREMENT All organisations have social, environmental and economic impacts on people, their communities and the natural environment. These impacts include both intended and unintended, negative and positive, effects. Current practice in performance measurement Corporate Social Performance tends to focus on measuring only a part of the total impact that organisations have on KAREN MAAS - Corporate Social Performance society. The research about the impact, as distinct from output and outcomes, organi - From Output Measurement to Impact Measurement sational activities have upon the society, is underdeveloped in existing management and business & society research. Therefore, the objectives of this dissertation are to contribute to the understanding of the social impact of organisations, and to propose a framework and methodology that facilitates social impact measurement. The social impacts of different organizations, both for profit and non-profit, and different organisational activities, are studied throughout this dissertation. Where the first study focuses on the social impact of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), the second study focuses on Strategic Philanthropy. The third study focuses on the social impact of an individual foundation. Studying this variety of organisations and organizational activities allows for a rigorous analysis of ERIM social impact, while illustrating that social impact measurement is relevant for both the profit and the non-profit sector, and is applicable to all kinds of organisational activities. Moreover, in a fourth study, different existing social impact measurement methods are collected, analysed and classified.

  • Effective Animal Advocacy
    Effective Animal Advocacy Jeff Sebo New York University 1. Introduction Imagine that you are a doctor, volunteering your time to save people in the aftermath of a natural disaster. There are many more people who need help than you have ability to help. How should you approach your work? Many people find it natural to say that you should triage. That is, you should try to do the most good possible with your limited resources. If you have to choose between treating two people, one of whom has a major injury and the other of whom has a minor injury, then you should prioritize the person with the major injury, all else being equal. Similarly, if you have to choose between treating two people, one of whom requires relatively few scarce resources and the other of whom requires relatively many scarce resources, then you should prioritize the person who requires relatively few scarce resources, all else being equal. Granted, it might seem callous to prioritize lives this way. But in a state of emergency, we naturally understand that triage is an expression of compassion, not callousness. If we want to save the most lives possible or relieve the most suffering possible, then we need to think carefully about how best to use our limited resources so that we can achieve this aim. However, as MacAskill (2015), Singer (2015), and many others have noted, many people seem to forget this point when it comes to addressing other, more chronic problems.1 For example, when we make choices about advocacy and philanthropy, many of us do what feels personally meaningful rather than think carefully about how to save the most lives possible or relieve the most suffering possible.
