What are the different methods of impact evaluation?

There are several methods of impact evaluation, including experimental, quasi-experimental, and non-experimental designs. Would you like to know more about a specific method?

Can you explain the experimental design?

Sure! Experimental design involves randomly assigning participants to a treatment group and a control group to measure the impact of an intervention. This method helps establish causality.

What about quasi-experimental designs?

Quasi-experimental designs do not use random assignment. Instead, they compare groups that are similar but not randomly assigned, which can still provide valuable insights into the impact of an intervention.

Are there any non-experimental methods?

Yes, non-experimental methods include case studies, surveys, and observational studies. These methods can provide context and insights but may not establish causality as strongly as experimental designs.
