The new head of CARE International U.K. wants to examine and improve how the nongovernmental organization measures impact, and maintain a clear focus on its areas of expertise, he told Devex in an exclusive interview in London.
CARE does gather data to better understand what works, said Laurie Lee, who joined the U.K. member of the 13-country confederation in August, but impact measurement is “always challenging in development work … It’s just so important — I want to make sure we are as good as we can be.”
Lee said he was “not coming in with a vision of wholesale change” at CARE — but did not rule out “radical change in certain areas.”
