Abstract

A key focus of IDRC evaluations has been on exploring the extent to which the research has influenced policy, practice and innovation. With an increased focus on development outcomes, this brief sets out concepts for thinking about, and applying impact evaluations for IDRC projects and programmes. It discusses assessment issues and presents useful ways of framing evaluations, using four examples of IDRC programming. Impact evaluations seek to explore the contributions made by interventions (such as IDRCs’ research projects and programs) and the longer-term effects of those interventions on peoples’ lives or the environment.
