Impact EvaluaCon Toolkit on the Web
Sources of help on IE
Handbook: why, what and how?
Tools of the trade
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.”
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.”
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
