This is part of a series of exploratory papers to help develop and test a theory of change behind 3ie’s commitment to evaluation project (c2e) and answer the question of how policymakers can take credit for demanding their programme to be evaluated?
This is part of 3ie’s effort to focus on evaluation use and find alternative incentives to generate demand led research and increase the likelihood of having a policy impact. We hope that the discussions and consultations around the papers will help us improve our method and pressure development agencies, government departments, private aid funders and large international NGOs to improve their evaluation practices and infuse more evidence based policymaking.
