About

Development Impact Group's Analytics team creates tools that improve the quality of impact evaluation research for all. We take advantage of the concentration and scale of research at the Development Impact group to develop and test solutions to ensure the credibility and quality, and to make public training and tools available to the larger community of development researchers who might not have the same capabilities. The team offers a variety of services for high-quality, reproducible research to all World Bank staff. All of our tools and resources are open-source and open-access, and our virtual courses are open to the global community of development researchers. 

We take advantage of the scope and scale of the Development Impact Group research to develop and test econometric and technical solutions and develop public tools. 

  • One-stop shop for impact evaluation research solutions. The Development Impact Wiki is a resource focused on practical implementation guidelines. It is open to the public, easily searchable, and suitable for users of varying levels of expertise.
