People First Impact Method - Mwingi District Exercise, Eastern Province, Kenya

This was the first of three People First Impact Method (P-FiM) (Cf. Annex 2) exercises in Kenya with two others completed in March 2012 in Turkana District and East Pokot, Rift Valley Province (please confer separate reports). The objective of the exercise was to give a voice to communities. It captured, measured and attributed declarations of impact; positive, negative and neutral of interventions by all stakeholders in selected areas without agency or project bias. Findings were presented at the Emergency Capacity Building (ECB II) Inter Active Conference in Kampala, Uganda on 1st and 2nd of February 2012.

While two years was the timeframe taken for review, discussion groups provided reference to impacts over a longer period.
