  3. Summary • Reporting cost is an important part of evaluations • Collecting the right information can be theoretically and practically challenging • Evaluators should be sharing experiences and best practice

  4. Effectiveness

  5. Cost effectiveness

  6. Costs to consider collecting • Direct costs – how much would it cost a school or parent to buy the intervention? • how much did it cost may differ • Indirect costs – do staff have to put in more hours than usual? • always think: what is the counterfactual? • Needs to be quantitative information

  7. Collecting cost information • Impact or process evaluation? • cost effectiveness relates to impact... • ...but process methods e.g. surveys, case studies, often better suited to cost data • Planning and communication • across evaluation project team • with development partner

  8. Reporting cost information • Present the average cost to compare with average effectiveness • Cost per pupil or per school? • may depend on the specific intervention • cost per pupil is comparable to other interventions • Present the assumptions made and data sources used

  9. Sharing best practice • Recommend agreeing principles for a common approach among evaluators • Questions?
