International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) resources on Impact Assessment - list of downloadable publications and discussion papers. "To more systematically measure our impact, IFPRI launched a coordinated impact assessment effort in 1996. The objectives of IFPRI's impact assessment activities are to: * ensure accountability of IFPRI to its clients * maintain credibility with clients * improve IFPRI's internal decisionmaking process and our capacity to learn from past experiences * ensure that IFPRI's work continues to remain relevant and useful in a rapidly changing world To meet these objectives, IFPRI developed five priority areas for its impact assessment research: * to expand the information available on how to measure the benefits of policy-oriented social science research * to qualitatively determine how policymakers and others use policy-focused research results * to assess how IFPRI's research in thematic areas, such as rural finance for the poor, influences the countries where the research is conducted and beyond into the international arena * to study the impacts of specific research projects at the country level * to conduct an integrated assessment of IFPRI's past research in numerous areas"
