Development Activities Locator and Assessment Method (DALAM)

Abstract

Recent literature highlights many problems with Department of Defense-funded development projects in actual or potential conflict zones. This may be a problem merely of assessment--we do not know how to document properly the progress we are making--or the problem may be more fundamental, in that the design of our projects is flawed. This study, Development Activities Locator and Assessment Method (DALAM), seeks to examine and address this problem, by integrating assessment into all facets of project planning (before, during and after execution) to maximize the likelihood that projects achieve their desired effects for the local national populace and for U.S. military organizations.
