“…The Qualitative Impact Protocol (QuIP) method measures impact by asking intended beneficiaries what they think are the most important drivers of change in selected domains of their lives and well-being. Qualitative Impact Protocol is designed to promote transparency in data analysis and avoid the problem of confirmation bias (Copestake, Morsink & Remnant 2019). Case studies gain insight into programme effects by employing quantitative and qualitative data to intensely study a specific case within a particular context (Balbach 1999).…”

Many development agencies and governments now seek to engage directly with local communities, whether as a means to the realization of more familiar goals (infrastructure, healthcare, education) or as an end in itself (promoting greater inclusion, participation, well-being). These same agencies and governments, however, are also under increasing pressure to formally demonstrate that their actions 'work' and achieve their goals within relatively short timeframesexpectations which are, for the most part, necessary and desirable. But adequately assessing 'community-driven' approaches to development requires the deployment of theory and methods that accommodate their distinctive characteristics: building bridges is a qualitatively different task to building the rule of law and empowering minorities. Moreover, the 'lessons' inferred from average treatment effects derived from even the most rigorous assessments of community-driven interventions are unlikely to translate cleanly to different contexts and scales of operation. Some guidance for anticipating and managing these conundrums are provided.

Multiple stakeholders in the microfinance sector seek to foster financial, social, and environmental development in a sustainable way by providing a wide range of products and services for financial inclusion. This heterogeneity is also reflected in the multiple methods to evaluate the performance of financial service providers. For this reason, it can be challenging for stakeholders to identify and understand the evaluation approaches that may be required to meet their needs and help them improve their performance. This study presents a comprehensive review of the existing approaches for the evaluation of the financial and social performance of microfinance. This research provides a systematic and comprehensive classification of microfinance performance evaluation methods, an explanation of evaluation methods and techniques, and a theoretical framework suitable to explain the applicability every method to assess different dimensions of microfinance. These results of this research are useful to help policymakers, donors, and practitioners understand and compare existing evaluation methods. Also, this framework enables the identification of the appropriate evaluation method according to the type of performance being examined and considering how to communicate this information effectively to the market.
