About 3ieThe International Initiative for Impact Evaluation (3ie) develops evidence on how to effectively transform the lives of the poor in low-and middle-income countries. Established in 2008, we offer comprehensive support and a diversity of approaches to achieve development goals by producing, synthesising, and promoting the uptake of impact evaluation evidence. We work closely with governments, foundations, NGOs, development institutions and research organisations to address their decision-making needs. With offices in Washington DC, New Delhi and London and a global network of leading researchers, we offer deep expertise across our extensive menu of evaluation services.
3ie working papersThese papers cover a range of content. They may focus on current issues, debates and enduring challenges facing development policymakers, program managers, practitioners and the impact evaluation and systematic review communities. Policy-relevant papers in this series synthesise or draw on relevant findings from mixed-method impact evaluations, systematic reviews funded by 3ie, as well as other rigorous evidence to offer new analyses, findings, insights and recommendations. Papers focusing on methods and technical guides also draw on similar sources to help advance understanding, design and use of rigorous and appropriate evaluations and reviews. 3ie also uses this series to publish lessons learned from 3ie grantmaking.
