Interights – Impact Assessment Coordinator (Volunteer)
Interights is developing a methodology to measure the impact of its strategic litigation work in order to enhance Interights' ability to improve and learn. This work was informed by a detailed research report in 2012 and now Interights is part way through embedding this approach throughout its work. Current we are also working with a University to look back at some of our cases to analyse our precise contribution and the real effect of the case on human rights.
We need someone to co-ordinate this task between now and the end of August (and beyond) and to contribute to developing this at the level of theory and practice. This would involve:
- Continuing to develop Interights' theory of change
- Considering how this impact assessment can assist our work with other partners
- Developing a timetable to ensure that our report on progress is delivered on time
- Assisting in the drafting of the report
- Assisting the Executive Director of Interights, who is responsible for delivery of this project, to ensure proper progress
