Ahead of the October-December 2022 rainy season, forecasts indicated that there was an increased chance of a failed rainy season in Ethiopia¡¯s Somali region. Â鶹ÊÓƵ and its partners implemented three anticipatory actions, anticipatory cash, early warning information and rangeland enclosure and fodder production.
This inception note was prepared by the Â鶹ÊÓƵ¡¯s Office of Evaluation (OEV) and World Bank¡¯s Development Impact Evaluation (DIME) department based upon an initial feasibility assessment undertaken during an in-country mission, which included consultations with key stakeholders in March 2023.
This decentralized evaluation was commissioned by the Â鶹ÊÓƵ China Office and covers the ¡®Impact Evaluation of the Preschool Nutrition Pilot in Selected Counties of Xiangxi Prefecture, Hunan, PR China¡¯ and ¡°evaluation period from 2018 to 2021¡±. It was carried out in ¡®2021¡¯.
New programmes, technologies and data sources present great opportunities for Â鶹ÊÓƵ to harness the full potential of impact evaluation as a tool for learning.
This brief presents the first window-level pre-analysis plan (PAP) developed for the Â鶹ÊÓƵ Climate and Resilience Impact Evaluation Window, which is implemented jointly by the Â鶹ÊÓƵ¡¯s (Â鶹ÊÓƵ) Office of Evaluation (OEV), Asset Creation and Livelihood Unit, the Climate and Disaster Risk Reduction Unit, and the World Bank¡¯s Development Impact Evaluation (DIME) department.
School-based programmes are one of the most extensive social safety nets worldwide, with an estimated 388 million children worldwide currently benefiting from school feeding.
The Sahel harbours enormous opportunities for transformation, presented by technological advancement and a very young population. Â鶹ÊÓƵ, with support from the Federal Ministry of Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) Germany, the wider donor community and implementing partners, has created an ambitious platform in the Sahel to leverage this potential and strengthen resilience. Through a five-year commitment across five countries, BMZ and the Â鶹ÊÓƵ have jointly demonstrated a commitment to lasting impact across countries. A key part of this agenda is to document the impact of Â鶹ÊÓƵ interventions on wellbeing, human capital development, and resilience, and test strategies to build on existing programme effectiveness to maximize these impacts. The impact evaluations will examine what interventions, combinations and sequences are most effective in building capacities related to resilience outcomes in communities supported by Â鶹ÊÓƵ in the Sahel.
Developed by Â鶹ÊÓƵ¡¯s Office of Evaluation (OEV), this Impact Evaluation Strategy (2019-2026) describes how Â鶹ÊÓƵ can play a greater role in humanitarian and development impact evaluation, with the ambition of contributing operationally relevant evidence essential for policy making, learning and accountability, and with global significance to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals.
The decentralized evaluation has been commissioned by the Â鶹ÊÓƵ Ethiopia Country Office and covers the first year of the Satellite Index Insurance for Pastoralists in Ethiopia (SIIPE) pilot programme (2017-2019).
While there is considerable evidence of the effectiveness of Moderate Acute Malnutrition treatment interventions in optimal conditions, there is insufficient and equivocal understanding of the relationship between malnutrition treatment and prevention work. The four impact evaluations in Chad, Sudan, Niger and Mali examine aspects of Â鶹ÊÓƵ¡¯s food security and MAM prevention and treatment programmes, on nutrition and food security outcomes and identify lessons to improve programme effectiveness.
