This report documents the workshop on assessing impact - "Women Building Peace: Sharing Know-How" in 2004. The meeting aimed to identify how women peace activists and practitioners measure the impact of their work, both for their own internal goal-setting and planning purposes, and as a means of communicating their achievements and experiences to their stakeholders. Critical questions informing the workshop included: how do women implement, monitor and evaluate their activities? What tools do they use for monitoring and evaluation? What lessons have they learned? How do women plan for miracles?
