On Thursday, July 9, 2015 DME for Peace and the Network for Peacebuilding Evaluation were pleased to host Annette Brown, Deputy Director of the International Initiative for Impact Evaluation (3ie), for a discussion of their Evidence for Peace Initiative and how 3ie is working to enhance the evidence base on development approaches to peace- and state-building challenges.
The International Initiative for Impact Evaluation (3ie) (link is external) has launched the Evidence for Peace Initiative (E4P) with the goal of enhancing the evidence base on development approaches to peace- and state-building challenges and linking this to policy design and management processes to achieve better outcomes. We partnered with Innovations for Poverty Action (IPA) and the World Bank on the first phase of the initiative, through which we recently launched a scoping paper (link is external) that reviews the supply of and demand for rigorous evidence on peacebuilding evidence and an evidence gap map (link is external) and report (link is external) that present the available impact evaluations evidence in terms of interventions evaluated and outcomes measured.
