Accountability and learning research report

Charities Evaluation Services’ report calls for a greater match between third sector accountability requirements and the information needs for developing learning in the sector.

In its 2008 report, Accountability and Learning: Developing Monitoring and Evaluation in the Third Sector, CES published the first comprehensive research on monitoring and evaluation in the third sector since Mog Ball’s overview 20 years ago highlighted the lack of monitoring and evaluation in the voluntary sector. This is the largest study yet undertaken, involving over 700 third sector organisations and over 100 funders and commissioners.
