Impact Evaluation of Social Programs : A Policy Perspective
Governments and donor organizations increasingly recognize that rigorous evaluations of public interventions should be part of the social policy decision-making process.

This note reviews the basic elements of good impact evaluations, identifies some of the political economy aspects that influence whether they are conducted, and explores ways to encourage use of evaluation.
