But may be this is where the M&E issues would be better addressed rather than at project level where pioneers in what is still a relatively new field are struggling just to get their ideas to work in practice? See my recent piece on this tension at http://bottomupthinking.wordpress.com/2012/06/06/social-entrepreneurs-and-me/ In conclusion, don’t leap to blame the project developers or their funders. Maybe they don’t really need the kind of data you are seeking?
