ARD sponsors two Projects:

• Artisanaid helps local artisans and craftsmen in conflict regions to produce and market their work, in order to raise revenue to benefit the entire community, and to promote the cultural preservation of local heritage.

• Evaluaid monitors and evaluates the impact of relief and development programs in conflict regions, as a means of reviewing both the positive and unintended consequences of intervention. As a form of policy review, it considers how standards might be introduced to insure local compensatory mechanisms are not disrupted by the agenda of donors, and enlightens policymakers of the effectiveness of their programs.
