OK, this works, thanks for your welcome! I will be in Barcelona although on a tight shedule, to much work and to little time to travel. ATA: Wednesdaymorning 03.30, departure Fridaymorning 04.50 . But okay, that gives us two days to check it out, looking forward to meeting you. I will check the linked document.
Greetings from Holland,

If you are interested in discussing the role of ESD indicators in monitoring and evaluation, then you may wish to read the following text on how we assess change through ESD:

Thank you for getting this discussion started.

Yes, it is an open group and I am very pleased you asked the question.

Will you be in Barcelona? I am thinking of having an initial gathering of interested people to commence the conversation about how we can best monitor and evaluate our practice. Everyone welcome!

Comment by Jos Eussen on June 18, 2008 at 7:34pm: Although I´m not sure if you intended the ´Monitoring and Evaluation´ Group to be open for uninvited subscription, I took the liberty of joining the group. I think it´s an excellent initiative to create the group, specially since I´m a bit concerned about the quality standards and achievement of RCE´s, including our own. ´Marketing´ the RCE´s and the RCE-concept in the Netherlands, Belgium and parts of Germany, I don´t want the ball ´to bounce back´, disappointing people when they take a deeper look into the idea and practice worldwide.
But okay, for now, if you can use assistence, just let me know. Originally I´m an accountant, controller and corporate finance manager. After merging my own foundation into the new RCE Rhine-Meuse as of 2008 it was an interesting and challenging excersice to figure out strategy, goals, performance and measurement. At the same time I am looking at the meaning and measurability of ESD on behalf of our National ESD Program, trying to put up a quality-framework.

Greetings, Jos
