This course will explore evolving understanding of the tension between economic policy and good governance, and the challenge of identifying a feasible steps. The focus will be on feasible ways forward in countries with low-incomes, and politics and institutions that are not supportive of development Impact Evaluation
for DevelopmentStatistically assessing the impact attributable to social programs in developing countries is increasingly, though slowly, becoming standard practice in the development community. Unfortunately, and despite the great value of such exercises in terms both of program evaluation and informed policy dialogue, much remains to be done in terms of mainstreaming impact evaluations into the project cycle. In particular, the importance of the basic underlying concept of any properly conducted impact evaluation, that of a counterfactual, is often difficult to impress on individuals involved in purely operational aspects of program/project execution. It is hoped, by the end of the course, that participants will have aquired the capacity to distinguish what is from what is not a true impact evaluation, and will be able to critically assess the validity of studies of this kind prepared under the auspices of multilateral or bilateral donors. Covers a range of practical tools for development-related information gathering, including for project planning, design and evaluation. Grounded in survey and interview skills, also reviews participatory approaches, rapid appraisal, action research and many other techniques. Gives special attention to methods suitable for low budgets, limited time and nonprofessional management staff. Makes extensive use of real-wrld cases.
