A new approach for evaluating research intended for the “real world."
Changes in hydrological extremes will have implications on the design of future hydraulic structures, flood plain development, and water resource management.
This research develops water demand (end-use) modelling and forecasting, and assesses water conservation and demand management potential for the city of Addis Ababa.
This project explores urban flood management in the metropole of Cape Town. The literature
which underpins this project argues that flooding is one of many disasters which are expected
Rural-urban migrations have contributed to the steady increase in the population of Cape Town. Many of the migrants have settled in informal settlements because they cannot afford to rent or buy decent housing.
In Utilization Focused Evaluation (UFE) evaluators facilitate a learning process with attention on how real people in the real world apply evaluation findings and experiences.
Utilization-focused Evaluation (UFE) was used in this case as a “self-evaluation” for the organization itself, helping to provide feedback on needs and capacities of the organization’s operations.
Utilization Focused Evaluation (UFE) begins with the premise that evaluations should be judged by their utility and actual use.
Data within the AfricaAdapt project has been website based which can result in gaps in uploaded information from members within the network, for instance where there is limited access to internet services due to lack of appropriate infrastructure.
