Impact Evaluations I. Guidance for Process & Content.

The WFP’s Office of Evaluation (OEV) undertakes Impact Evaluations to assess the
impact of specific type of WFP’s programming activity applied across a series of countries.
WFP’s OEV applies a mixed method approach focusing on outcomes and impacts, causal
contribution and explanatory factors. Where possible, Impact Evaluations are conducted
in series on the same type of programs in several countries. This enables OEV to synthesize
findings across countries and identify common strengths and weaknesses to inform future
policy and programming strategy. Whenever possible, Impact Evaluations are also used to
strengthen the evidence base for other Strategic or Policy evaluations.
