Forum : Professionalizing Development Consulting File Name : No file uploaded
CAIDC's mandate includes fostering excellence in international development consulting. As it is difficult to foster excellence without measurement and feedback systems, the CAIDC Board worked to develop a member run evaluation system for development consultants. In 2005, the Board of Directors of CAIDC mandated a committee to develop a general consultant evaluation form and develop an evaluation and dispute resolution mechanism for development consulting services that would enhance the quality and professionalism of CAIDC Members and discussed this with CIDA and CAC. some consultants have adopted the form (and adapted it to their particular area) and are using it to collect feedback from their clients. They state it is useful as you can provide new potential clients with references using the form.
