Workshop output

A short PowerPoint presentation on Thursday (4-5 slides maximum) providing a roadmap for the IE: • Intervention description • Evaluation question(s) • Evaluation design • Sample and data • Timeline

To cover, but not to present: Staffing, Budget

Session 1

•Understanding the project•Causal/results chain• Identify research questions

Session 1: Understanding the project

• What questions: project activities/interventions • Why questions: program rationale• How: Work down from big picture to specifics to

understand project assumptions and constraints

> what is the theory of change: How do we expect to move from the intervention to impact?

Session 2: Identification strategy, outcomes & data- Finalize research questions- Identification strategy

- Establish valid counterfactual (control group)- Experimental or quasi-experimental?- Phase-in design?- Discontinuities? (spatial or temporal)

Session 2: Identification strategy, outcomes & data- Outcome indicators

- Intermediate outcomes- Final outcomes- Measurable?

- Data sources- Surveys- Administrative data- Census data

Session 2: Identification strategy, outcomes & data- Outcome indicators

- Data sources- Surveys- Administrative data- Census data

Research questions need to be submitted after session 2! (by the facilitator)

Session 3: Implementation plan- Timeline- Budget: Sources of funding- Staffing

Session 4: Finalize PPT

A short PowerPoint presentation on Thursday (4-5 slides maximum) providing a roadmap for the IE: • Intervention description • Evaluation question(s) • Evaluation design • Sample and data • Timeline

To cover, but not to present: Staffing, Budget Presenter should be a government representative

Have a great week!
