Using the case of EU Cohesion Policy, Julian Hörner and Paul Stephenson outline some of the main theoretical principles that underline EU policy evaluation. They write that positivist approaches and quantitative research methods tend to be dominant, in part due to the pressures on European institutions to demonstrate the added-value of policies. Despite this, there may be benefits to adopting more interpretative and qualitative approaches, even if these are more difficult to administer. m&e_in_development m&e;_in_development http://del.icio.us/url/5f3ebf04820533c6ddba140703de3fbd#cotonou_online http://t.co/7xtpybC http://del.icio.us/url/5f3ebf04820533c6ddba140703de3fbd http://feeds.del.icio.us/v2/rss/url/5f3ebf04820533c6ddba140703de3fbd cotonou_online's links Joint Evaluation carried out on behalf of the Commission of the European Union, Belgium and Canada as a pilot exercise of the OECD Development Assistance Committee. dpir development_policy eu_development_effectiveness governance int_governance_initiatives policy_news km_and_communication M&E_in_development http://del.icio.us/url/e246a8a5e411e7cfe4b8723f8c84edf0#cotonou_online http://www.odi.org.uk/resources/details.asp?id=5766&title=rural-roads-impact-evaluation-infrastructure-aid-trade&utm_source=ODI_Update&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Google+Reader http://del.icio.us/url/e246a8a5e411e7cfe4b8723f8c84edf0 http://feeds.del.icio.us/v2/rss/url/e246a8a5e411e7cfe4b8723f8c84edf0 cotonou_online's links With growing recognition of the links between high transport costs and poverty, there has been an increasing interest in undertaking detailed evaluations of the impact of public investment in rural roads. This begs the question: how do we identify what kind of public spending, including aid-for-trade (AfT), is most effective in reducing poverty and generating equitable agricultural growth? Despite the large amounts spent on rural roads, there is remarkably little formal evidence on their benefits to households or to enterprises. What has been lacking is a general methodology, using micro-data, to estimate these gains. This Background Note provides suggestions on what state-of-the-art AfT impact evaluations could look like, and why they should be part of a project’s design from the outset in order to improve policy conducive to achieving the MDGs. acpeutrade dpir development_policy int_development_effectiveness policy_news km_and_communication M&E_in_development aid4trade Trade and regional integration Tue, 13 Sep 2011 23:25:00 +0000 http://del.icio.us/url/9521a358e36780b7136627fbd0764ce1#cotonou_online http://www.oxfamblogs.org/fp2p/?p=6719 http://del.icio.us/url/9521a358e36780b7136627fbd0764ce1 http://feeds.del.icio.us/v2/rss/url/9521a358e36780b7136627fbd0764ce1 cotonou_online's links The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) identified the futility of the outcome indicator tracking strategy some years ago and, consequently, abandoned it. USAID also came to the realisation that there was no evidence-base established on what works and what does not in programming after all the billions that it spent and seems to regret not having supported the rigorous evaluation of key interventions.) To what extent have the other donor agencies recognised the fallibility of outcome indicator tracking? Sadly, there is plenty of evidence to suggest that many are still operating in this outdated paradigm. dpir development_policy int_development_effectiveness km_and_communication M&E_in_development policy_news
