Alzua, Maria LauraDjebbari, HabibaValdivia, Martin2012-07-192012-07-192012http://hdl.handle.net/10625/49818The aim is to analyze not only the magnitude and characteristics of the production of impact evaluation (IE) studies in the sample countries, but to find out how IE studies inform policymaking and program management, and how these in turn influence the choices of methods for IE studies.
