L'affrontement entre les objectifs de développement et l'évaluation d'impact. The Collision of Development Goals and Impact Evaluation

Michael Clemens

Revue d’économie du développement, 2012, vol. 20, issue 4, 175-205

Abstract: Two movements have recently reshaped development aid. The Goal Movement has unified and inspired aid actors with quantified targets; the Evaluation Movement has raised standards for measuring the aid?s true effects. These two movements can complement each other, but in some aid projects they have instead unproductively collided. I review one such collision, in the United Nations-sponsored Millennium Villages Project. The story offers lessons on how new development goals and future impact evaluations could do more to reinforce one another.
