520 _a.This handbook is intended to help implementing agencies (e.g. nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), development/foreign aid agencies, community-based organizations, not-for-profit agencies) make better use of existing research and plan for evaluation when designing and implementing child violence prevention programmes, and also to convey these intentions to potential funding organizations. In recent years, those who are funding programme work in child protection have come to recognize the importance of identifying and building on proven solutions. They are increasingly asking applicants to explain how their proposed programme is informed by current research and to outline their plans to evaluate the effectiveness of their programme. Funding bodies are also aware that some evaluation study designs are better – more robust and therefore more informative – than others, and that it can be difficult for programme implementers, who typically do not have experience in research and evaluation, to meet all of these expectations by themselves. For this reason, there is a trend among funders to look more favourably on agencies that partner with researchers to help design research-based interventions and to assist with evaluation studies. Thus, the principal aim of this handbook is to serve as a reference for agencies seeking to improve their ability to meet the current expectations of funding agencies. While they are primarily written for those who implement programmes aimed at reducing children’s exposure to violence, the information contained herein is applicable to a wide range of social problem interventions.
