Peter Kelly Introduction: Who I am and what I did Philosophy of impact evaluations How to do a good evaluation Collecting data Ethical issues Additional resources

Philosophy of impact evaluations Relationship to accountability –Why needed –Clean but fails –Corrupt but succeeds About the weakest aspect –Data quality –External validity 250-point checklist

How to do a good evaluation Think of yourself as an investor in a similar project—what do you want to know? Collect data yourself, know the language Ask respondents your research question directly—when? Adjust theory to reality, not vice versa, but beware of data mining

Collecting data No time like the present Don’t take no for an answer (advisers, bureaucrats, collaborators) Offer something to collaborators, make it part of a larger project Opinion on grants and conflicts of interest

Ethical issues Getting the right answer Research staff usually in much more danger than subjects

Additional resources Validity checklist Safety for staff members
