Help Us Close the Evaluation Gap!

When Will We Ever Learn? Closing the Evaluation Gap

A new CGD initiative seeks to answer the question "What works to improve health, education and other social indicators in developing countries?" Accelerating social progress in low- and middle-income countries requires knowledge about what kinds of social programs are effective. But despite decades of large investments by development agencies and developing countries themselves, the evidence base to answer this question is surprisingly slim.

You can learn more about this gap - and some ideas for closing it - from CGD's Evaluation Gap initiative homepage or by skipping to the initiative's Frequently Asked Questions
