Finance and Private Sector Impact Evaluation Policy Notes

Impact evaluation policy notes provide 2-page summaries of efforts to evaluate the impacts of finance and private sector policies. Do you have a project you want evaluated? Researchers with the Finance and Private Sector Development Research Program are looking for opportunities to work with colleagues in the World Bank and IFC. If you would like to ask our experts for advice or to collaborate on an evaluation, contact the editor, David McKenzie (dmckenzie@worldbank.org).
