This interactive workshop will focus on how to identify, develop and implement strong indicators of near-term outcomes and longer-term success.  Designed for human rights practitioners, the workshop will help them make better use of social science in their work. Attendees will discuss how best to develop and measure the indicators. In small groups participants will discuss the merits of different kinds of indicators and how they might be constructed, applied, and measured for specific hypothetical projects in the US and abroad.  An open discussion of each scenario and the strengths of  various indicators will follow.  This workshop will provide an opportunity for human rights practitioners to think more intentionally about how the social sciences can support robust project design.
