IFPRI has several impact assessment activities underway as part of ongoing research projects, including

• an ex-post impact assessment of the Water Resource Allocation subtheme and
• an ex post impact assessment of IFPRI’s cumulative work in Ethiopia

Also, IFPRI’s impact assessment unit has developed a three-year work plan for future ex-post impact assessments of large-scale IFPRI projects.

To ensure that impact assessments are universally credible, an external impact assessment coordinator oversees and guides the process and externally commissioned experts approved by the coordinator lead all impact assessments. IFPRI makes these impact assessments available on its website as peer-reviewed impact assessment discussion papers.
