This Thursday, November 7th at 4pm, Aprille Knox and Cillian Nolan of Abdul Latif Jameel Poverty Action Lab (J-PAL), will join the M&E Thursday Talks to lead a discussion on “Impact Evaluations: What Works in Peacebuilding, Reconciliation, and Dispute Resolution,” and I hope to see you there!
Recent studies of community security and peacebuilding efforts have identified powerful effects from limited, low-cost interventions, while also revealing that some more intensive investments have failed to produce desired outcomes.
Aprille and Cillian will present these emerging insights from a recent review of randomized evaluations of peacebuilding, reconciliation, and dispute resolution interventions. They will also highlight how rigorous evaluation can be a powerful tool for ensuring resources are directed to the most impactful and cost-effective peacebuilding interventions.
