Social Entrepreneurial Projects Evaluation in Crisis Areas Through Multi-Criteria Decision Making

Abstract

The aim of this article is to examine humanitarian actors’ attitudes towards the factors that should be considered and the methodology that should be applied in the evaluation process of social entrepreneurial projects. In line with this, an online questionnaire was conducted on attitudes towards the current way utilized in the crisis areas. The results indicate that the majority of actors are using the methodology of the sum weighted model and the more-experienced actors are tending to include more criteria compared with the less-experienced actors. The article concludes that more awareness should be raised among the humanitarian actors to enable them to conduct the evaluation more effectively. In order to develop the effectiveness of the studies in this area, it is recommended that a more dedicated policy should be created and training should be conducted in place.
