| Assessment Resource - Purpose | 3ie impact evaluations provide evidence of what works or not, for whom, and why in international development. We require designs based on the intervention’s theory of change that use a counterfactual*. Methods should ensure that the evaluation addresses differential impacts due to the effects of gendered inequality. We fund preparation phases to ensure that teams engage with key stakeholders in the selection of evaluation questions, design and methods. This phase may include process and formative evaluations. We assure the quality of 3ie-funded studies through a collaborative partnership among our evaluation and evidence use specialists, our grantees, and independent expert reviewers. |
| Assessment Resource - Content | In addition to more comprehensive evidence programmes, 3ie is able to respond to partners who want us to produce or manage a given evidence product or service, such as evidence gap maps, assuring the quality of evaluation design and team selection, and/or managing impact evaluation implementation. |
