How countries measure what works The Africa Region’s Africa Impact Evaluation Initiative works to mainstream impact evaluation into World Bank-supported operations, and build government capacity for comprehensive impact evaluation (IE). A rigorous assessment Impact Evaluation (IE) is an intense exercise that gauges a project’s effect by comparing outcomes between beneficiaries and a control group, both before and after project implementation.
IE helps program managers deliver results by providing robust data about which projects have positive impacts on critical outcomes, such as household income, educational attainment, child mortality, maternal health or employment. IE helps program managers plan strategies for meeting the Millennium Development Goals and the targets under the Africa Action Plan. Working with partners and across sectors The initiative is a collaboration between the Africa Region and internal and external partners. The initiative supports World Bank-related IEs in over 20 African countries and across several sectors --- including education, malaria, health, infrastructure, and community-driven development.
