Resumen
Descripción
Governments and donor organizations
increasingly recognize that rigorous evaluations of public
interventions should be part of the social policy
decision-making process. Yet there is frequently a gap
between the desire for information on the effectiveness of
programs and an understanding of the potential and the
limitations of evaluation tools. This note reviews the basic
elements of good impact evaluations, identifies some of the
political economy aspects that influence whether they are
conducted, and explores ways to encourage use of evaluation.
