Why attend
Ever wondered if what you're doing is really making a difference? Donors and managers increasingly want to know. Get insights on quantitative and qualitative methods that will help you understand your project's impacts on biodiversity and livelihoods, through this introduction to mixed-methods impact evaluation.
Session Description
By definition, impact evaluations use counterfactuals (i.e., what would have happened in the absence of the project or intervention). But in data-limited and resource-constrained settings, these counterfactuals may be difficult to come by. Fortunately, several options exist to suit your situation. Our session will introduce a framework that will help you identify the most appropriate impact evaluation design and methods for the results you want to measure (e.g. increase in wildlife population, decrease in poaching behavior). Following a brief presentation of concrete applications, participants will identify and discuss the most appropriate method(s) to use under certain conditions, using their own project examples.
