Evaluación de Políticas Públicas - Actualidad y noticias

The QuIP gathers evidence of a project’s impact through narrative causal statements collected directly from intended project beneficiaries. Respondents are asked to talk about the main changes in their lives over a pre-defined recall period and prompted to share what they perceive to be the main drivers of these changes, and to whom or what they attribute any change - which may well be from multiple sources. A control group is not required as evidence of attribution is sought through respondents’ own accounts of causal mechanisms linking X to Y alongside Z (key informant attribution) rather than by relying on statistical inference based on variable exposure to X. This narrative data is intended to be triangulated with other data and to complement quantitative evidence on changes in X, Y and Z obtained through routine project monitoring or other methods.  (...) - This easy to read CDS Briefing Paper by James Copestake and Fiona Remnant presents an overview of the QUIP in three steps: the background to the QUIP and its main aims; the data collection and analysis methodology; and QUIP in the context of other approaches to evaluation, particularly Contribution Analysis and Process Tracing.
