Dear colleagues,
We invite you to submit an abstract to the following session at the Cities on Volcanoes 10 conference to be held in Naples, Italy, 2 – 7 September 2018:
S2.11 | Assessing the impact of volcanic risk reduction activities: Are we achieving our goals?
The volcano community has conducted activities related to reducing volcanic risk for
decades, yet questions remain about how to assess, monitor, and evaluate whether
the work that has been done is achieving the goal of reducing risk. Quantifying the
impact of risk reduction activities can be challenging, but is necessary to better
understand the outcome of activities and to apply lessons learned to improve
activities and programming. In this session we will discuss various efforts to measure
volcanic risk reduction, whether through research, assessments, systematic data
collection, technical assistance, or capacity-building efforts. In addition, we will
share best practices on how progress is being measured towards reaching goals.
We invite submissions from a variety of implementers ranging from those who are
addressing measuring project impact through informal means, such as periodic self
evaluations, to those conducting more formal endeavors, like systematic monitoring
and evaluation plans with indicators to measure progress towards meeting objectives.
Our ultimate goal is to learn if our activities are reaching the appropriate people and
to learn from each other various ways to measure and quantify our progress towards
reducing the risk from volcanoes.
