Evaluation Unit; Graham, M.In this introduction to a study evaluating policy influence, recognition of the long-term nature of policy influence leads to inclusion of projects IDRC has supported over the long term. As the complexity of the policy or research process increases and the number of actors involved escalates, discovery of verifiable links between cause and effect becomes more difficult. Given the time lag between generation of results and their ownership and use, projects are most likely to play the least significant role precisely when impact finally occurs. Donors try to assess their contributions oftentimes when they are in fact, least involved.
