The objective of the People First Impact Method (P-FiM) (confer Annex 2) exercise in East Pokot was to give communities a voice. It records declarations of impact and measures the impact; positive, negative and neutral of interventions without agency or project bias. It sets out the attribution of positive, negative and neutral change alongside the drivers of impact. It informs agencies and other stakeholders (including communities, government, NGOs, faith groups, CBOs and private sector) of how the community view past and present impact differences and what is important for them. It adds to the body of material on quality and accountability and best practice to inform the humanitarian sector.
This is the third of three P-FiM exercises in Kenya funded by FAO carried out between 14 and 17 March 2012. The first was in Mwingi District, Eastern Province in January 2012 and the second in Turkana County, Rift Valley Province in March 2012.
