Evaluation of International Development Interventions - An Overview of Approaches and Methods

Evaluation of International Development Interventions - An Overview of Approaches and Methods

This guide compiled by the Independent Evaluation Group of the World Bank provides an overview of evaluation approaches and methods that have been used in the field of international development evaluation.

For each method, a detailed guidance note presents the method’s main features and procedural steps, key advantages and disadvantages, as well as its applica­bility. Each guidance note includes references for relevant background readings (basic and advanced) as well as references to other additional resources of interest. Both the choice of approaches and methods and the associated guidance are by no means definitive and the guide will be periodically updated as evaluation prac­tices evolve.
