  3. Governments, Managers and Others are asking questions … • Do we have right information? • Are we making the right investments? • Whose responsibility is LMI? • The market’s? The governments’? Etc. • Where is the (hard) evidence on impacts? • Current answers not fully satisfactory…

  4. The Evaluation Problem - General • Providing evidence on impacts is an “evaluation” activity • An “impact” is about cause and effect; for gov’t program evaluations, it’s about attributing cause based on scientific research methods • To estimate impacts is to compare two states of the world: one with the program and one without; and to have outcomes that can be measured • The greatest difficulty lies in creating the world without the program

  5. LMI IN THE REAL WORLD - IT’S COMPLICATED.

  6. The Way Forward…
