MDF team produced a video that presents a clear way to understand how quantitative methodologies work for Impact Evaluation. Even selling lemonades, we can learn how evaluation techniques can happen. Check it out!

     

 

Quantitative impact methods solve the “counterfactual problem” by comparing the “treatment group” with a comparable group with the same characteristics, a control group. If a group can be found which is statistically identical to the control group (with exception of the intervention), then any differences between changes in the two group can be attributed to the intervention.

In our MDF Impact evaluation masterclass, we will cover what you need to know to commission, guide and use evaluations with confidence.

  • Understand the different purposes of evaluations, including accountability, learning, steering and policy improvement
  • Know how to commission and guide evaluations that are feasible, credible and fit for purpose
  • Be able to assess whether evaluation questions, criteria and methods are appropriate for the object being evaluated
  • Recognise common quality risks in evaluation design, implementation and reporting
  • Understand how to use evaluation findings for management decisions, partner dialogue and programme or policy adaptation
