Program Evaluation Principles & Practices, Northwest Health Foundation

Evaluation/Reflection

This handbook is provided by the Northwest Health Foundation as a framework for community organizations to use to evaluate and understand the effectiveness of their programs. It provides an overview of basic program evaluation principles and practices, and offers an approach to evaluation that will assist organizations in documenting their work -for themselves, for funders, and for others who are interested in issues of program impact and outcomes. The handbook is designed to complement the content of a Foundation-sponsored workshop on program evaluation, and can be used as a "stand-alone" guide for evaluation design and implementation.

Ninety-four recipients (66%) believed that generalized weakness was a valid indication …

An exotic disease is a disease that is not present in Australia.

Fordham International Law Journal

This Essay is an attempt to make sense of the author's experiences working with legal reform in Eritrea. Specifically, what might drive people who are intelligent and informed to create statutes that: (a) probably will not work (the problem of "legal absorption" or "legal transplants"); or (b) if applied will have adverse consequences. In this Essay, the author: Gives a brief introduction on Eritrea; uses an Eritrean intellectual property example to illustrate why countries adopt laws that seem opposed to their interests; gives a brief history of Africa and the transplantation of Western law; gives a brief history of Tax …

The Preparatory Commission For The International Criminal Court, Philippe Kirsch, Valerie Oosterveld

Fordham International Law Journal

As it becomes increasingly clear that the International Criminal Court will be set up in the near future, it is important to reflect on the work of the Preparatory Commission for the International Criminal Court. When the Rome Statute was being negotiated, it became very clear that additional documents would be necessary in order to create a fully functioning ICC. At the time, eight such documents were identified and included in Resolution F of the Final Act of the Rome Diplomatic conference. As work on these documents nears completion, States have begun to consider the practicalities of setting up the …

'Consent' In Relation To Curbs Of Parallel Trade In Europe, Valentine Korah

Fordham International Law Journal

The most important development of 2000 in competition law for Intellectual Property (“IP”) advisors is, probably, the judgment in the Court of First Instance (“CFI”) in Bayer v. Commission. Preventing traders buying medicines in countries where the government permits them to be sold only at prices well below world levels has long created problems. Parallel traders then sell them in countries where the maximum price is higher.

The Right Of A Minor In Israel To Participate In The Decision-Making Process Concerning His Or Her Medical Treatment, Yehiel S. Kaplan

Fordham International Law Journal

The Article raises questions concerning the validity of the age of eighteen years as the youngest age allowing independent consent of a minor in Israel to his or her medical treatment. One of the primary suggestions in the Article is that there is a need to apply the informed consent doctrine to the medical treatment of Israeli and other minors who possess the appropriate capacities deemed necessary for comprehending the full implication of their consent. The authors believe that the doctrine of “developing capacities,” as formulated in Article 12 of the U.N. Convention on the Rights of the Child, to …

Competing Frameworks For Assessing Contemporary Holocaust-Era Claims, Vivian Grosswald Curran

Fordham International Law Journal

Suppression and erasure have played a significant role in the context of the Holocaust. The massive number of deaths yielded a terrible weight of silence, and the erasure of memory occurred in a multiplicity of ways, including: (1) viciously and cynically on the part of many who sought to hide all traces of their crimes; (2) protectively on the part of some who sought to save the lives of the prosecuted; and (3) inevitably as the result of the disappearance of a world and culture destroyed beyond any possibility of resuscitation by the few individuals who survived in displacement and …
