Impact Evaluations
Measuring what works through rigorous experimental and quasi-experimental methods
Impact evaluation provides the empirical foundation for understanding which interventions genuinely improve human welfare and which merely consume resources without generating meaningful change. At Axis Institute, we approach impact evaluation as both a technical discipline requiring the highest methodological standards and a practical tool generating actionable insights for program improvement and policy reform.
Quantitative Methods
Rigorous approaches to establishing causal impact
Randomized Controlled Trials (RCTs)
