Evaluating Impact
Innovations, such as programmes developed by policy makers or interventions designed to improve well-being, are routinely developed, introduced, and/or borrowed from other contexts daily. But:
- not all innovations are good;
- it is not usually clear which innovations work and which do not, and why;
- the experience of other organisations and other evidence is typically under-used in the design of innovations; and
- the wish of taxpayers and investors to see funds used wisely creates a demand for early indications of when and how innovations are likely to provide value for money.
We have substantial experience working across different sectors and countries evaluating policies, programmes, and practices in collaboration with practitioners, policy makers and researchers, This experience helps us balance the need for methodological rigour with the real-life constraints and pressures faced by investors, policy makers and evaluators and provide stakeholders with insight when they need it.
