ADE develops strong in house expertise in rigorous Impact Evaluations using mixed methods with counterfactual approach. (video illustrating such approach)

We work in partnership with academics and local experts to ensure the quality and the relevance of ex post and embedded impact evaluations.

We conduct first-hand data collection, such as household survey, using tablets with surveyCTO software in various sectors and countries. We also develop online survey.

Rigorous impact evaluations enables:

  • to quantify the effects of an intervention on beneficiaries (using 1st and 2nd hand data)
  • to assess qualitative effects at different level of beneficiaries
  • to demonstrate causal link with the intervention
  • to explain factors and mechanisms at play
  • to develop a costs/benefits analysis if relevant

It therefore helps to improve aid effectiveness.

In particular, embedded impact evaluations enable to better formulate an intervention, to develop an operational and efficient M&E system, to rigorously assess the attributable effects and to understand what works and why.
