3ie funds quality studies that will have a real policy impact and affect many lives. In terms of standards, this means only studies that are built around a credible counterfactual with an evaluation design based on the underlying programme theory to learn what works and why, and also at what cost.
We encourage studies which utilise innovative methodologies, or delve into crucial evaluation questions which have not been the subject of previous research. Priority is given to proposals responding to a clear demand from policy makers. Grantees are expected to ensure full cooperation from implementing agencies, and other interested actors.
The strategic components of our programme are:
Generating new evidence of what works
Synthesizing and disseminating this evidence
Building a culture of evidence based policy-making
Developing capacity to produce and use impact evaluations
Developing 3ie’s institutional capacity, governance and management systems
