Opportunity Description
This 2-hour workshop is designed to support policymakers in local economic growth with an introduction to impact evaluation. Understanding the impact of policies is essential for determining “what works” and improving future policymaking. The interactive session includes a blend of presentations and practical exercises to review evaluation concepts, explore common pitfalls, and consider the role of counterfactuals. Tailored for policymakers from combined authorities and local authorities within devolution deal areas, the workshop is ideal for those planning a trial, commissioning an impact evaluation, or seeking to interpret findings from previous evaluations. It serves as a complement to training on logic models and the development of strong evaluation questions.
