VAU

Impact Evaluation Unit

An Impact Evaluation Department (formally known as Vulnerability Analysis Unit VAU) created under the Institutional structure and support of MRRD is now a part of AIRD. This unit has the capacity to carry out nationwide surveys and impact evaluation of development programmes run by   governmental organizations in the country.
The erstwhile   Vulnerability Analysis subunit with cooperation of WFP (World Food Program) was started under the Social Safety Directory in 2003. After a period of time, due to extension of activities and load of request for collection of data by the central offices of ministries, international NGOs and other organizations, a Survey Design subunit was added in 2009, thereby upgrading the VAU to plan nationwide surveys and conduct Impact Evaluation of programme of MRRD and other governmental and nongovernmental organizations.
