    Abstract: Este libro pretende ser una introduccion accesible al tema de la evaluacion de impacto y a como aplicarla al ambito del desarrollo. Este tipo de evaluaciones sirve para determinar si un programa ha logrado o no los resultados previstos, y para explorar si existen estrategias alternativas con las que alcanzar mejor dichos resultados. El manual, que ofrece una introduccion no tecnica al tema, esta estructurado en tres partes: en la primera se explica que significa evaluar el impacto de los programas de desarrollo y por que es importante; la segunda parte se centra en como evaluar; en la tercera parte se aborda la cuestion de como implementar una evaluacion. Estos elementos constituyen los elementos basicos necesarios para llevar a cabo una evaluacion de impacto. La intencion es aproximarse al tema principalmente a partir de la intuicion, por lo que se ha minimizado la terminologia tecnica. Se ofrece al lector una serie de herramientas basicas de evaluacion (los conceptos y los metodos fundamentales) y se analiza su aplicacion a programas de desarrollo del mundo real

    Parallel Title: Gertler, Paul J Paying Primary Health Care Centers for Performance in Rwanda
    Abstract: Paying for performance (P4P) provides financial incentives for providers to increase the use and quality of care. P4P can affect health care by providing incentives for providers to put more effort into specific activities, and by increasing the amount of resources available to finance the delivery of services. This paper evaluates the impact of P4P on the use and quality of prenatal, institutional delivery, and child preventive care using data produced from a prospective quasi-experimental evaluation nested into the national rollout of P4P in Rwanda. Treatment facilities were enrolled in the P4P scheme in 2006 and comparison facilities were enrolled two years later. The incentive effect is isolated from the resource effect by increasing comparison facilities' input-based budgets by the average P4P payments to the treatment facilities. The data were collected from 166 facilities and a random sample of 2158 households. P4P had a large and significant positive impact on institutional deliveries and preventive care visits by young children, and improved quality of prenatal care. The authors find no effect on the number of prenatal care visits or on immunization rates. P4P had the greatest effect on those services that had the highest payment rates and needed the lowest provider effort. P4P financial performance incentives can improve both the use of and the quality of health services. Because the analysis isolates the incentive effect from the resource effect in P4P, the results indicate that an equal amount of financial resources without the incentives would not have achieved the same gain in outcomes

    Abstract: Ce manuel constitue une introduction accessible a l'evaluation d'impact et a sa pratique dans le domaine du developpement. Il est principalement destine aux professionnels du developpement et aux decideurs, mais peut egalement etre utile aux etudiants et a toute personne interessee a l'evaluation d'impact. Les evaluations d'impact prospectives visent a determiner si un programme a atteint ou non les resultats esperes ou a tester differentes strategies pour atteindre ces resultats. Ce rapport considere qu'une augmentation du nombre d'evaluations et une amelioration de leur qualite permettront de renforcer l'ensemble des preuves existantes au sujet de l'efficacite des politiques et programmes de developpement dans le monde. L'espoir est que les gouvernements et les professionnels du developpement puissent prendre des decisions fondees sur des resultats eprouves, tels que les preuves generees par les evaluations d'impact, de maniere a rendre plus efficace l'utilisation des ressources pour reduire la pauvrete et ameliorer le bien-etre des populations. Les trois parties du manuel constituent une introduction non technique a l'evaluation d'impact. Elles decrivent ce qu'il convient d'evaluer et pourquoi (partie 1) ; exposent des methodes d'evaluation (partie 2) ; et indiquent comment mettre en cuvre une evaluation (partie 3). Ces etapes constituent des elements essentiels a la realisation d'une evaluation d'impact. L'approche de l'evaluation d'impact dans ce manuel est largement intuitive et essaie de minimiser les aspects techniques. Ce rapport presente au lecteur une gamme d'outils d'evaluation d'impact et illustre leur application a de reels programmes de developpement

    Keywords: Graue Literatur
    Abstract: Parental involvement programs aim to increase school-and-parent communication and support children's overall learning environment. This paper examines the effects of low-cost, group-based parental involvement interventions in Mexico using data from two randomized controlled trials. The first experiment provided financial resources to parent associations. The second experiment provided information to parents about how to support their children's learning. Overall, the interventions induced different types of parental engagement in schools. The information intervention changed parenting behavior at home - with large effects among indigenous parents who have historically been discriminated and socially excluded - and improved student behavior in school. The grants did not impact parent or student behaviors. Notably, the paper does not find impacts of either intervention on educational achievement. To understand these 0 effects, the paper explores how social ties between parents and teachers evolved over the course of the two interventions. Parental involvement interventions led to significant changes in perceived trustworthiness between teachers and parents. The results suggest that parental involvement interventions can backfire if institutional rules are unclear about the expectations of parents and teachers as parents increase their involvement in schools

    Parallel Title: Erscheint auch als Garcia Moreno, Vicente A School-Based Management and Learning Outcomes: Experimental Evidence from Colima, Mexico
    Keywords: Graue Literatur
    Abstract: A school-based management program was implemented Mexico in 2001 and continued until 2014. This national program, Programa Escuelas de Calidad, was considered a key intervention to improve learning outcomes. In 2006, the national program was evaluated in the Mexican state of Colima, being the first experimental evaluation of the national program. All schools were invited to participate in the program; a random selection was performed to select the treatment and control groups among all the applicants. An intent-to-treat approach did not detect any impact on learning outcomes; a formal school-based management intervention plus a monetary grant was not enough to improve learning outcomes. First, the schools in the evaluation sample, control and treatment, were schools with high learning outcomes. Second, these schools had experienced some years of regular school-based management practices before the evaluation. A difference-in-difference design is used to identify heterogeneous effects of the program on learning outcomes. The difference-in-difference approach shows that the intensity of treatment increased test scores during the first year of the intervention

    Parallel Title: De Walque, Damien Using Provider Performance Incentives to Increase HIV Testing and Counseling Services in Rwanda
    Abstract: Paying for performance provides financial rewards to medical care providers for improvements in performance measured by specific utilization and quality of care indicators. In 2006, Rwanda began a paying for performance scheme to improve health services delivery, including HIV/AIDS services. This study examines the scheme's impact on individual and couples HIV testing and counseling and using data from a prospective quasi-experimental design. The study finds a positive impact of paying for performance with an increase of 6.1 percentage points in the probability of individuals having ever been tested. This positive impact is stronger for married individuals: 10.2 percentage points. The results also indicate larger impacts of paying for performance on the likelihood that the respondent reports both partners have ever been tested, especially among discordant couples (14.7 percentage point increase) in which only one of the partners is HIV positive

    Abstract: Despite the importance of housing for people's well-being, there has been little work done to assess the causal impact of housing and housing improvement programs on health and welfare. In this paper the authors help fill this gap by investigating the impact of a large-scale effort by the Mexican government to replace dirt floors with cement floors on child health and adult happiness. They find that replacing dirt floors with cement floors significantly reduces parasitic infestations in young children, reduces diarrhea, reduces anemia, and improves cognitive development. Finally, they also find that this program leave adults substantially better off, as measured by satisfaction with their housing and quality of life and by their significantly lower rates of depression and perceived stress
