- The partnership of KNOW-HUB welcomes you to its knowlegde base.
With this in mind DG Regio reminded the participants of the existence of a paper issued last April, called "Guidance document on Monitoring and Evaluation - The programming period 2014-2020 concepts and recommendations" (click here for the full document). We recommend you to have a look at this paper, it contains some useful examples and inspiration.
"Impact evaluation – capturing effects
To disentangle the effects of the intervention from the contribution of other factors and to understand the functioning of a programme is a task for impact evaluation. Two distinctive questions are to be answered:
Note that both questions cannot exist in complete separation from each other: Each evaluation asking the "does it work" question needs to assume basic elements of a theory of change (a how? and why?) to determine which changes should be looked at and attributed to a cause. Similarly, every evaluation asking "why it works?" will assume – maybe implicitly – a counterfactual situation. This is the conceptual level at which the two wings of impact evaluation share some features, whilst primarily answering the two different questions of "does it work?" and "why?" "
