Evaluation Gap Update | July 2008
In This Issue:
July 21 2008
The International Initiative for Impact Evaluation (3ie), which was built on the recommendations from the Center for Global Development's Evaluation Gap Working Group, is getting its work underway, and the Executive Director, Howard White, has asked us to share with you information about the process of defining the first round of evaluation questions that 3ie will tackle -- and to ask for your help.
3ie is inviting suggestions for enduring questions from all those with an interest in development. An enduring question is one which builds knowledge about what effect a program or policy will have to improve social and economic development in developing countries. You are invited to submit questions, which will be added to our list. Then, through a broad consultative process, the list of questions will be narrowed down to a shortlist. 3ie members with the assistance of expert panels will then select a final set of high priority enduring questions to be the object of 3ie grants. Please contribute your ideas today!

If you have news or highlights to share in future mailings, please send them to Rena Pacheco-Theard.
