| IDEAS is best place to provide skilful evaluators from developing countries, since it has a rich database of more than 600 evaluators from around the world. They are private consultant, civil servant, NGO, UN employees or university researchers. |

| I think the capacity of government officials should be built to understand the need for impact studies. The demand must be created through training and empowerment of the official who in turn will also make provision for it in the projects and programmes. |

| 3ie should work in close collaboration with evaluations associations and networks in the regions as well as worldwide. Given the important reach, actual as much as potential, of umbrella networks such as IOCE and AfrEA in Africa, ReLAC in Latin America - and the equivallents expected in Asia and other regions of the world- , 3ie should use these channels extensively. More importantly, 3ie together with the NONIE should actively contribute to strengthen these channels, as most of them are young institutions still facing the usual challenges of getting off the ground international volunteer organisations.

| For sure this is not a difficult question to improve on proposal development for impact studies from institutions. As simple as this may be; you need to be cost effective in your approach, for example learning from already existing institutions, NGOs etc that have piloted proposal development and build on this may be a better approach. |
