Impact evaluation

Impact evaluation is a systematic assessment that aims to determine the changes that can be attributed to a particular intervention, program, or policy. It seeks to identify the causal effects of an intervention on specified outcomes by comparing the results of the intervention group to a counterfactual—what would have happened in the absence of the intervention. Key features of impact evaluation include: 1. **Causality**: It focuses explicitly on establishing a causal link between the intervention and observed changes.
