Finance Impaq pursues rigorous quantitative methods to evaluate the impact of policies – both expected benefits and unintended effects, so as to see if they have solved the problems identified and accomplished their goals. Impact evaluation is a demanding econometric assessment of how an intervention affected outcomes. The method requires a counterfactual of what those outcomes would have been in the absence of the intervention.
The following types of impact evaluations are being pursued by Finance Impaq:
- Randomized Control Trials – Experimental Methods
- Quasi-Experimental Methods
- Non-Experimental Evaluation Design
- Advice and generating political support for continuation or expansion of programs, both within and beyond national boundaries
We conduct policy analysis and impact evaluations in the following domains:
- Employment, welfare and social affairs
- Education and youth
- Health care and public health
- Equal opportunities and non-discrimination
- Environment and sustainable development
- Local economic development
- Migration and mobility
- Innovation, research and development
