Has the Grameen Bank, for example, succeeded in lowering consumption poverty among the rural poor in Bangladesh?

Impact Evaluation - Experience of the Independent Evaluation Group of the World Bank

0

seachangecop.org –

Impact evaluation is an assessment of the impact of an intervention on final welfare outcomes. The results agenda has forced agencies to demonstrate that the money they spend is improving the lives of poor people, thereby increasing demand for impact evaluation. In the current environment, calls for increased aid spending are only credible if it can be shown that current spending is indeed contributing toward the attainment of the Millennium Development Goals. Impact evaluation is an essential more...

Making Smart Policy: Using Impact Evaluation for Policy Making

0

seachangecop.org –

"Impact evaluation has blossomed in recent years as a powerful tool for enhancing development effectiveness. The numbers of both evaluations and methodologies have multiplied very quickly. This growth, however, has been uneven both geographically and across sectors, leading to questions of how to bolster impact evaluation in regions and sectors where it is least common and perhaps most needed. Additionally, as methods mature and the collection of evidence accumulates, more...

The purpose of NONIE is to promote more and better impact evaluations among its members. Issues relating to evaluations in general are more effectively dealt with in the parent networks, and are thus not the primary focus of NONIE. NONIE will focus on sharing of methods and learning-by-doing to promote the practice of IE (impact evaluation). The current Guidance document was developed for supporting those purposes.The Guidance is structured around nine key issues in impact evaluation:1. more...

0

seachangecop.org –

This book offers an accessible introduction to the topic of impact evaluation and its practice in development. While the book is geared principally towards development practitioners and policymakers designing prospective impact evaluations, we trust that it will be a valuable resource for students and others interested in using impact evaluation.

Impact Evaluation and Interventions to Address Climate Change: A scoping study

0

papers.ssrn.com –

Abstract: Substantial and increasing amounts of funding are available for climate change interventions. This paper argues that to ensure effective allocation of these resources, the selection and design of climate change mitigation and adaptation interventions should be based on evidence of what works, what doesn’t, under what circumstances and at what cost. Currently the evidence base for bringing about behaviour change in the context of climate change interventions is minimal and there is a more...
