3ie transparency and accountability impact evaluations: Sharing early results and implementation lessons

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. Grantees presented early baseline results and an overview of the interventions, the relevance of their research, evaluation design and the challenges they have been encountering. External experts and other research team members provided feedback on how teams could improve their analysis or explore ways to understand the value for money and effectiveness of these interventions in real-world settings.
