    What Difference Does Good Monitoring & Evaluation Make to World Bank Project Performance? (2016)

    Series Statement: World Bank E-Library Archive
    Content: For more than 20 years, the development community has claimed that monitoring and evaluation helps projects achieve their objectives. This study uses data from 1,300 World Bank projects evaluated between 2008 and 2014 to investigate this suggested link between the quality of monitoring and evaluation and project performance. The propensity score matching results indicate that the quality of monitoring and evaluation is significantly and positively associated with project outcome as institutionally measured at the World Bank. This positive relationship holds when controlling for project manager identity, and is robust to various specification choices. Through a systematic text analysis of the narrative produced by the Independent Evaluation Group to justify its monitoring and evaluation quality rating, the study shows that there are common markers of good quality monitoring and evaluation, such as: clear institutional setup and division of labor around monitoring and evaluation activities; simple monitoring and evaluation framework that is well aligned with clients' existing monitoring and evaluation systems; good integration with operational tasks; and a system that can generate regular and timely reporting, and that is used during and after lending

    The Rigor of Case-Based Causal Analysis : Busting Myths through a Demonstration (2023)

    Format: 1 Online-Ressource
    Series Statement: IEG Independent Evaluations and Annual Reviews
    Content: Several myths persist within research and evaluation circles about the power and limitations of evaluation designs that use cases (or case studies) as their primary empirical material (case-based evaluation designs). Using a real-world application, this paper busts two myths regarding the use of case-based designs in evaluations that aim to answer effectiveness questions and unpack the relationships between interventions and observed changes in outcomes (broadly known as causal analysis): that case studies cannot be used for causal analysis and that it is impossible to generalize from case studies. Through a detailed demonstration of how the evaluation of the World Bank's support to carbon finance has been designed and implemented, the paper undoes these preconceived ideas about the inferential, explanatory, and generalizability power of case-based evaluation designs

    Format: 1 Online-Ressource
    Content: This pilot study tests the applicability, usefulness, and added value of using AI for advanced theory-based content analysis within the framework of IEG's thematic evaluations. Using a set of interventions associated with the World Bank's chronic malnutrition and stunted growth portfolio, the paper assesses the efficiency gains generated by AI-assisted content analysis in labeling and classifying text according to an outcome-based conceptual framework

    Getting Practical with Causal Mechanisms : The Application of Process-Tracing under Real‐World Evaluation Constraints
    Wiley
    Details

    gbv_1780656955
    Format: 1 Online-Ressource
    Content: Over the past decade, the field of development evaluation has seen a renewed interest in methodological approaches that can answer compelling causal questions about what works, for whom, and why. Development evaluators have notably started to experiment with Bayesian Process Tracing to unpack, test, and enhance their comprehension of causal mechanisms triggered by development interventions. This chapter conveys one such experience of applying Bayesian Process Tracing to the study of citizen engagement interventions within a conditional cash transfer program under real-world evaluation conditions. The chapter builds on this experience to discuss the benefits, challenges, and potential for the applicability of this approach under real‐world evaluation conditions of time, money, and political constraints.
