Importantly, the paper contextualises these ideas within settings relevant to Australian aid organisations. This includes approaches which aim to achieve change (i.e. more disability inclusive societies), ideas about how change happens in diverse cultural contexts, different approaches to monitoring and evaluation, and the practices related to data collection, analysis and use.<br />
This discussion paper seeks to raise issues and contribute to discussions about approaches which have been proposed and applied to date. It seeks to build a more nuanced understanding of appropriate processes for assessing actual changes sought than is evident from current practice.</p>
