Methodological challenges in impact evaluation: the case of the Global Environment Facility (GEF)

No 2007.01, IOB Discussion Papers from Universiteit Antwerpen, Institute of Development Policy (IOB)

Abstract: In this paper, we explore some of the methodological challenges that evaluators face in assessing the impacts of complex intervention strategies. We illustrate these challenges, using the specific example of an impact evaluation of one of the six focal areas of the Global Environment Facility; its biodiversity program. The paper discusses how theory-based evaluation can provide a basis for meeting some of the challenges presented.
