3ie’s Contribution to Evidence-Based

Policy and Practice

Philip Davies

International Initiative for Impact Evaluation [3ie]

Global evidence-based projects in health and welfare:

Opportunities for engagement

Oxford, 3rd November 2014


3ie’s Vision and Strategy

Our vision

Improving lives through impact evaluation

Our mission

Increase development effectiveness through better use of

evidence in developing countries

Our strategy

We aim to:

•Generate new evidence of what works

• Synthesise and disseminate this evidence

•Build a culture of evidence-based policy-making

•Develop capacity to produce and use impact evaluations


• Impact evaluations against a strong counterfactual

•Systematic reviews of existing evidence

•Theory of change analysis

•Mixed methods of investigation and analysis

•Policy Influence Plans and Policy Briefs - getting evidence

into policy and practice

3ie’s Approach to Evidence-Based Impact Evaluation


Identifying What, and Where, More Evidence is

Needed in International Development

• Donor’s needs and priorities

3ie’s Thematic Windows

3ie’s Systematic Reviews

• Governments’ and NGOs’ needs and priorities

3ie’s Policy Window

• Country researchers’ interests and priorities

3ie’s Open Window

3ie’s Development Priorities Window

• Gap Maps


3ie’s Thematic Windows

• Demand driven – for IEs and SRs

• Funded by donors with non-core funds

• To increase the evidence in a specific area

• To date:

Social Protection thematic window (funded by DFID),

HIV/AIDs window (funded by Gates Foundation)

Voluntary Male Medical Circumcision window (Gates),

Humanitarian window (DFID and USAID) and the

Climate change window (funding still to be secured).


3ie’s Policy Window

• Aimed at policy makers in governments and NGOs

• To evaluate policies and interventions that are innovative

• Have high potential for scale up

• Or large scale interventions that need to show evidence of

effectiveness

• Examples:

Removal of user fees for universal health coverage in Africa

Reducing maternal and neo-natal mortality in Kerala

Evaluation of Grade R education in South Africa

•


3ie’s Open Window

•Unrestricted grant modality

•Funding high-quality, policy-relevant impact evaluation

proposals

•All sectors and regions in any L&MIC

•Unrestricted by funding size request, time period,

project funding or by subject area


Development Priorities Window

•Focus the collection of new evidence in otherwise

neglected but developmentally important directions

•Geographic focus - specific areas or regions

• Income class focus – a stronger focus on only low income

or low middle income countries

• Sector focus - lower priority to sectors such as health that

have funding from other sources

•Combinations of the above (e.g. Climate Change in

Africa).


3ie’s Systematic Reviews Grants

• Donor demand plus 3ie core funding

• Examine the existing evidence on a particular

intervention or programme in low and middle income

countries

• Drawing also on evidence from developed countries

when pertinent

• Average cost: US$80K (range US$60K-US$120K)

• Education, Agriculture, Health and Nutrition, Energy,

Labour Market, Crime, WASH, Disability, Gender.

Governance, Communications, Disaster, CCTs, Street

Children, Externalities, Urban Renewal.
