EBBF is part of EU-funded Research that Inspires the We Value Collaborative Community and Web Platform with over 170 Values-based Indicators and Easy to Use Assessment Methodology
Brighton, UK – September 7, 2010 – We Value ( www.wevalue.org ) in collaboration with EBBF (www.ebbf.org) announces the launch of the We Value collaborative community and web platform, home to over 170 values-based indicators developed as the basis for the measurement of values within organisations around the world.
Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) as well as faith-based organisations and businesses worldwide are often conscious of the importance of their values-based work, but this is usually seen as a non-measurable intangible asset. Until now, values have been largely overlooked in conventional project monitoring and evaluation activities, which tend to focus on concrete outputs and outcomes rather than the ‘human results’ of the work.
