Ready for School

Impact evaluation Brief 3ie PDF icon 2012  
In Mozambique, only 4 out of 100 children go to preschool and very few programmes are available in rural areas where poverty is more acute. Existing evidence shows that investment in education early in life gives children a head start, and has effects on their immediate well-being and future prospects.

How to turn the tide on corruption?

Impact evaluation Brief 3ie PDF icon 2011  
Political corruption is the abuse of public office for illegitimate private gain, and takes many forms. Election fraud, bribery and embezzlement of funds, kickbacks in procurement, nepotism and cronyism and sale of government property for private gain all fit under this umbrella.

Conditional cash transfer programmes: A magic bullet to improve people's health and education?

Impact evaluation Brief 3ie PDF icon 2010  
Conditional Cash Transfer (CCTs) programmes provide cash to poor households who meet certain health and education conditions such as regular school attendance and health check-ups for children at the clinic.

Subsidising Education: Are school vouchers the solution?

Impact evaluation Brief 3ie PDF icon 2010  
Good quality education is out of reach for many poor people, due to its high costs. Governments try to make it more accessible by subsidising it. School vouchers provide one means subsidise education. Vouchers allow students to expand their school choice, including attending private schools, potentially providing “better quality” education.

Education for all: How to pass the 2015 grade?

Impact evaluation Brief 3ie PDF icon 2010  
Conditional cash transfers, exemption of school fees and school feeding programmes have generally been found to have a positive impact on primary school enrolment rates. But these programmes have had a limited and a varied effect in different contexts on keeping children in education.

Fair and Square: Better market share, more benefits through Fairtrade

Impact evaluation Brief 3ie PDF icon 2010  
Fairtrade can have positive impacts on producers in developing countries, increasing income and employment opportunities, reducing vulnerability to price fluctuations and giving producers a better access to larger foreign markets and attract higher value.

Climate change: Effective ways of cutting greenhouse gas emissions

Impact evaluation Brief 3ie PDF icon 2009  
There are few rigorous impact evaluations of climate change interventions. But some examples in the field of conservation stand out. A number of recent studies evaluate the impact of protected areas, payment for environmental services and decentralized forest management.

Health insurance for the poor: myth or reality

Impact evaluation Brief 3ie PDF icon 2009  
A growing evidence base suggests that health insurance in poor areas can improve people’s access to health care. But the poorest in these areas do not seem to benefit much. Health insurance programs, generally, have not helped in reaching out to the poorest or improving their health care use.

Financing better health care for all

A growing evidence base suggests that health insurance in poor areas can improve people’s access to health care. But the poorest in these areas do not seem to benefit much. Health insurance programs, generally, have not helped in reaching out to the poorest or improving their health care use

Running water, working toilets and safe hygiene practices

Impact evaluation Brief 3ie PDF icon 2009  
The world is falling behind its targets to improve people’s access to sanitation, with major health costs. There is strong evidence that both sanitation and hygiene interventions are highly effective in reducing risks of diarrhoea, however public health promotion appears more cost-effective.
