Acknowledgements
The authors wish to thank the many interviewees who provided helpful guidance as we conducted our
research. We are also grateful to the members of the Donor Committee for Enterprise Development
(DCED) for their support throughout, as well as Jim Tanburn and Melina Heinrich from the DCED
Secretariat. We dedicate these guidelines to the practitioners who are making the effort to design and
implement rigorous results measurement systems in conflict affected environments and disseminate
their results to the rest of the field. These efforts are invaluable to advancing our knowledge in an area
where much remains to be learned.
