| Assessment Resource - Purpose | The Qualitative Impact Assessment Protocol (QuIP) is an impact evaluation approach that draws on Contribution Analysis. QuIP studies serve to provide an independent reality check of a predetermined theory of change which helps stakeholders to assess, learn from, and demonstrate the social impact of their work. QuIP’s approach places project beneficiaries’ voices at the centre of the evaluation, enabling them to share and feedback their experiences in an open, credible, and respectful way. |
| Assessment Resource - Content | The QuIP gathers evidence of a project’s impact through narrative causal statements collected directly from intended project beneficiaries. Respondents are asked to talk about the main changes in their lives over a pre-defined recall period and prompted to share what they perceive to be the main drivers of these changes, and to whom or what they attribute any change - which may well be from multiple sources. A control group is not required as evidence of attribution is sought through respondents’ own accounts of causal mechanisms linking X to Y alongside Z (key informant attribution) rather than by relying on statistical inference based on variable exposure to X. This narrative data is intended to be triangulated with other data and to complement quantitative evidence on changes in X, Y and Z obtained through routine project monitoring or other methods. |
