| Popis: | The promise of experimental approaches to help reduce poverty depends on the impact they have on policy and implementation. That makes it important to consider how institutional mechanisms and government structures translate findings into policy, or not. We look at each stage of the policy cycle and discuss how experimental findings could change the evidence use in policymaking for poverty reduction. We also discuss the role of experimental evidence in the design of a broader evaluation system. We use the experience of Mexico to illustrate our argument, from the influential evaluation of the Progresa cash transfer program to the establishment of the national evaluation council. We then conclude with some implications for governments in developing countries. |
