[Human Development Network at The World Bank] From EVIDENCE to Policy: A note series on learning what works.
Dear colleagues,
We are very pleased to send you the second bulletin in our Policy Note series highlighting the results of impact evaluation studies and other cross-cutting analytical and research findings the Human Development Network has been engaged with. We see it as a way of communicating in non-technical terms the many innovations our network is supporting and the growing number of rigorous studies analyzing the impacts of those innovations.
The new From EVIDENCE to Policy: A note series on learning what works showcases a World Bank supported study in Cambodia, where researchers set out to study the effects of scholarships on encouraging primary school students to continue their studies in lower secondary school – and whether bigger grants worked better than smaller ones. The results of the study underscore the importance impact evaluation can have for policymakers, even as researchers plan a second round of data collection to answer some important questions raised by the results.
The brochure is available as a pdf (attached) and on the website of the Chief Economist’s Office, Human Development Network (www.worldbank.org/hdchiefeconomist). Hard copies are also available upon request (please contact
(See attached file: Cambodia Evid to Pol brochure.pdf)
We hope you will find this material useful.
Best regards,
Ariel Fiszbein
