The document discusses higher education institutions' (HEIs) community engagement and its role in quality assurance. It notes that international organizations see benefits to aligning education with social and economic needs. Quality assurance agencies evaluate HEIs' community engagement policies, resource allocation, and effectiveness. Most audit reports found community engagement activities to be ad hoc and recommended developing formal frameworks and management structures. Follow-up reviews found that half of HEIs adequately improved their community engagement practices based on prior recommendations. The document argues that "community engagement" is an ambiguous term that needs clarification to be useful for evaluation.

Lessons on sector learning with WASH Resource Centre NetworksIRC
Continuous joint learning is crucial for a strong and adaptive water and sanitation sector. In the past 2 years, we have been reflecting on the ways in which national Water sanitation and hygiene (WASH) Resource Centre Networks (RCN) support learning in their WASH sectors.
IRC and RCN coordinators in 5 countries have been sharing experiences and gathering evidence of change that result from learning between organisations and at sector level. See http://www.irc.nl/page/50054
Thesis Corporate Excellence
This research builds on the premise that “appropriate measurement is fundamental for estimating the benefits” and investigates the hypothesis that it is necessary to measure public relations effectiveness in order to justify these activities.
Although the research and practice in the area of Public Relations have been in place since 1987, the accumulated academic and professional experience has not translated into techniques that could rationalize or improve the implementation of Public Relations activities. This lacuna is at the centre of the research conducted by Joan Cuenca, who based on already available models suggests his own hypothetical model of the global audience of Public Relations in order to measure the activity generated by Public Relations. The research attempts to come up with an answer to the following question: in what form is it possible to justify Public Relations activities?

About the white paper
While the importance of corporate social responsibility is generally accepted, there are as many definitions of social responsibility as there are organizations. The new standard, ISO 26000: Guidance on social responsibility, offers a definition of what it means to be a socially responsible organization and why it is important that companies adopt this position. This paper reviews key elements of the new standard to enhance understanding and explore its implications for quality professionals.
Latest Trends in Independent Evaluation at ADBOlivier Serrat
Independent evaluation has changed from the beginnings of evaluation activities in ADB some 30 years ago. Initially, the focus of evaluation was on assessing whether implementation was consistent with the intentions reflected in the appraisal of a project, and the extent to which the project achieved the expected economic and social benefits. Independent evaluation now shapes decision making throughout the project cycle and in ADB as a whole. This presentation offers more than an account of the early steps: it describes recent accomplishments and looks to the future.
Social Impact Measurement Use Among Canadian Impact InvestorsPurpose Capital

The key objectives of the report were to:
- Determine investors knowledge about social impact metrics
- Assess investors’ reliance on social impact metrics to make investment decisions
- Identify the tools that investors use
- Identify frameworks to reduce barriers for greater investment
- Provide recommendations to government aimed at improving the use of social metrics
