Where  does  this  toolkit  come  from?  

• Developed  through  the  Health  Results  InnovaCon  Trust  Fund  (HRITF)  

• SupporCng  results-­‐based  financing  approaches    

• Focusing  on  health  MDGs  (1c,  4  and  5)  • Building  knowledge  on  results-­‐based  financing  – -­‐>  through  impact  evaluaCon  – -­‐>  through  other  types  of  evaluaCons

Impact  EvaluaCon  in  HRITF  •  ProspecCve:  Built  into  program  design  •  Robust:  Treatment  and  Control  groups  •  Owned  by  country  teams  •  Scaled:  36  Impact  EvaluaCons  at  different  stages  

–  2  completed    –  17  ongoing    –  17  in  design  stage  (6  advance  &  11  early  design  

stage)  

•  Toolkit  designed  to  support  teams  –  But  useful  for  anyone  interested  in  impact  evaluaCon

Module  2:  Building  the  Impact  EvaluaCon  Team  

•  “The  evaluaCon  manager  decided  that  surveys  do  not  deliver  any  credible  results.”  

•  “We  hired  local  consultants  (recommended  by  colleagues)  that  were  not  up  to  the  task.”  

•  “My  Research  Assistant  took  big  shortcuts.”  

Page 12: Annual Results and Impact Evaluation Workshop for RBF - Day Eight - IE and HRITF - Milestones, Tools, Requirements

Module  3:  Designing  the  Impact  EvaluaCon  

•  “The  intervenCon  was  assigned  at  the  group  level,  but  the  data  were  collected  at  the  individual  level.  In  our  power  calculaCons,  we  forgot  to  take  into  account  this  clustering  of  individual  in  treated  group  –  we  ended  up  recruiCng  way  too  few  individuals  into  our  experiment.”  

Page 13: Annual Results and Impact Evaluation Workshop for RBF - Day Eight - IE and HRITF - Milestones, Tools, Requirements

Module  6/7:  Storing,  Accessing,  Analyzing  Data  

•  What  happens  if  your  computer  crashes?  Do  you  loose  all  of  the  data?  

•  What  happens  if  your  RA  leaves?  Is  all  the  documentaCon  on  their  Macbook?  Will  anyone  be  able  to  replicate  her  analysis?  

Page 14: Annual Results and Impact Evaluation Workshop for RBF - Day Eight - IE and HRITF - Milestones, Tools, Requirements

Module  8:  Monitoring  and  DocumenCng  RBF  Programs  

•  “We  had  a  randomized  design  but  didn't  keep  close  enough  communicaCon  with  the  government.  They  distributed  the  intervenCon  non-­‐randomly  without  our  knowledge.”  

•  “We  had  a  perfectly  good  (and  random!)  encouragement  design.  Then,  our  implemenCng  partner  started  bribing  the  parCcipants  to  take  up  the  treatment!”

Requirement: World Bank clearance of publications and papers

•  PublicaCons  (journal  submissions  and  working  papers)  need  to  be  submiXed  for  clearance  at  the  World  Bank.  

•  Clearance  by  WB  Country  director  if  paper  is  country-­‐specific  or  HNP  if  general.  

•  Applies  to  all  work  by  Bank  staff  or  consultants  +  any  paper  related  to  HRITF  funded  Impact  EvaluaCon  by  IE  team  members.  

Page 20: Annual Results and Impact Evaluation Workshop for RBF - Day Eight - IE and HRITF - Milestones, Tools, Requirements

PublicaCons  

•  World  Bank  has  an  open  data  policy  encouraging  publicaCons  by  teams  linked  to  the  World  Bank  to  be  open  access.  

•  This  ensures  wide  disseminaCon  of  results.  

•  World  Bank  publicaCons  like  working  papers  are  also  widely  read  and  disseminated.  

Page 21: Annual Results and Impact Evaluation Workshop for RBF - Day Eight - IE and HRITF - Milestones, Tools, Requirements

Requirement:  Data  availability  

•  All  data  from  the  Impact  EvaluaCon  will  need  to  be  uploaded  (part  of  the  milestones  process).  

•  Eventually,  the  data  should  be  made  available  to  the  outside  research  community.  

•  Time  frame  for  data  availability  is  2  years  a]er  data  collecCon  or  6  months  a]er  working  paper  is  out.  

•  Earlier  release  or  sharing  of  data  for  cross-­‐country  analysis  is  encouraged.  

Page 22: Annual Results and Impact Evaluation Workshop for RBF - Day Eight - IE and HRITF - Milestones, Tools, Requirements

Requirement:  ReplicaCon  policy  

•  With  their  data,  IE  teams  should  provide  complete  and  well-­‐documented  do-­‐files  allowing  replicaCon  of  their  results.  

•  The  do-­‐files  should  allow  going  from  the  raw  data  to  the  results  in  report.  

•  The  expectaCon  is  for  results  to  be  rouCnely  replicated,  for  example  by  HRITF  team.
