The Global Interdependence Initiative at the Aspen Institute has just released a new set of guides for the advocacy community. Called "Continuous Progress: Better Advocacy Through Evaluation," these online guides have been written for organizations and grantmakers. I like them because they focus on the basics - good goal setting, progress monitoring, and campaign wrap up. It includes some nifty worksheets and other tools. Best, some forums for discussion (it will be interesting to see if those take off). Sometimes, we need to be reminded of the basics.
