Despite the billions of dollars spent on development assistance
each year, there is still very little known about the actual impact
of projects on the poor. There is broad evidence on the benefits of
economic growth, investments in human capital, and the provision of
safety nets for the poor. But for a specific program or project in
a given country, is the intervention producing the intended
benefits and what was the overall impact on the population? Could
the program or project be better designed to achieve the intended
outcomes? Are resources being spent efficiently? These are the
types of questions that can only be answered through an impact
evaluation, an approach which measures the outcomes of a program
intervention in isolation of other possible factors. This handbook
seeks to provide project managers and policy analysts with the
tools needed for evaluating project impact. It is aimed at readers
with a general knowledge of statistics. For some of the more
in-depth statistical methods discussed, the reader is referred to
the technical literature on the topic. Chapter 1 presents an
overview of concepts and methods. Chapter 2 discusses key steps and
related issues to consider in implementation. Chapter 3 illustrates
various analytical techniques through a case study. Chapter 4
includes a discussion of lessons learned from a rich set of 'good
practice' evaluations of poverty projects which have been reviewed
for this handbook.
