Putting government in the driver’s seat to generate and use impact evaluations in the Philippines

Emmanuel Jimenez, Tara Kaul, Fides Borja 11 March 2019 blog  
Impact evaluations are sometimes criticised for being supply-driven. It is hard to know for sure. There is no counterfactual to what would have happened without the impact evaluation. Regardless of whether this is true or not, one of the ways to ensure that an impact evaluation is more demand-driven is to put the government in the driver’s seat for increasing the demand for evaluation.

Sounds good... but what will it cost? Making the case for rigorous costing in impact evaluation research

Marie Gaarder, Liz Brown 11 December 2019 blog  

Imagine two government programs—a job training program and a job matching program—that perform equally well in terms of boosting employment outcomes. Now think about which is more cost-effective. If your answer is ‘no idea’ you’re not alone! Most of the time, we don’t have the cost evidence available to discern this important difference.

External validity: policy demand is there but research needs to boost supply

Jörg Peters, Monica Jain, Marie Gaarder 31 December 2019 blog  

A randomised controlled trial (RCT) in a Northern district of Uganda finds that the young adults who receive cash transfers use it to buy more food for their families, football shirts, and airtime for their mobile phones, compared to those in control areas. Would the pattern be the same if young adults in central Uganda are given cash transfers? Would the findings replicate if the cash transfers were given to young women in Senegal? This stylised example points to the crucial question of generalisability of program impacts to other contexts – commonly referred to as external validity.
