The Making Impact Evaluation Matter conference brought together 600 participants – a mix of researchers, policymakers, programme managers and development practioners - for the first major international conference on impact evaluations and systematic reviews in Asia.

To facilitate discussion and dialogue on this important issue, the International Initiative for Impact Evaluation (3ie) in partnership with University College London and the Centre for the Evaluation of Development Policies at the Institute of Fiscal Studies organised an international conference ‘Promises for Preschoolers: Early Childhood Development and Human Capital Accumulation’ in London on June 25-26, 2012.

We organised a peer-learning workshop at the 8th Africa Evaluation Association Conference in Kampala in March 2017. There were rich discussions on the relevance of producing more evidence on transparency and accountability in the extractive resources sector, especially against the local backdrop of Uganda’s burgeoning oil sector. Participants emphasised the need to figure out how to allocate revenue from extractives to different sectors, such as health and education.
