In my first blog on recently published impact evaluations by the Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC), I argued that MCC has set a new standard for systematic learning about development programs. In this blog, I’m addressing a second set of questions related to the design and use of impact evaluations
MCC recently published five impact evaluations on farmer training programs – the first of many because MCC, unlike most other development agencies, is conducting such studies for about 40 percent of its portfolio. I would argue that this makes MCC the biggest experiment in evaluation: an entire agency committed to seriously produce impact evaluations on a large share of its operations and publicly disseminate them.
