Contribute to The Practical Guide to Impact Assessments
The Impact Working Group is addressing the methodological shortfalls in impact research and coordinates the authorship and production of a one-stop “practical guide” to design an impact assessment of microinsurance.
The field of microinsurance is experiencing tremendous growth. Policymakers in governments, national and international development agencies, and the civil society are increasingly investing in policies andprogrammes supporting microinsurance.
With the heavy increase in interest for microinsurance, partners require dependable information on the impact of microinsurance to make the best use of limited resources.
The guide will be written in a simple, understandable manner so that those outside the research community, such as donors and practitioners, can employ the information. Funders, for example, will find out how to check the quality of a proposed or ongoing impact evaluation. Implementers will be able to use it to develop a rigorous, meaningful impact assessment.
The publication will include following chapters:
- What is microinsurance? What is impact?
- Designing your evaluation
- Implementing your evaluation
- Methodologies for analysis
- Drawing conclusions from your evaluation
- Turning research into practice and policy
If you are interested in supporting or contributing to this important initiative, contact the Secretariat.
