List of Impact Evaluation Databases

How many openly available, searchable databases of impact evaluations are there? Impact evaluations are a classic public good, providing information that is valuable to anyone engaged in policymaking or program development. But for evaluations to serve this function, people have to be able to find them easily and quickly.

Searchable databases can facilitate this, but how well are they working? Can they do better? We plan to collect and maintain a list of impact evaluation databases of studies that attribute impact to particular programs, interventions, or policies, and whose findings are relevant to low- and middle-income countries. Please join this crowdsourcing effort by submitting information about any databases we have left out or corrections for the ones we’ve included.
