Important to consider IPE in ALL projects and especially important when impact evaluations are cancelled/ disrupted to ensure we get the most out of the learning and find out from the ground how things actually worked (or didn’t!)
New EEF blog: What can we learn from implementation and process evaluations?

I am honoured to have worked at and with
@EducEndowFoundn
for very nearly ten years too. Excited to see what the next round of evaluations holds!

Fascinating to study a parenting programme that could carry on throughout Covid-19 and still include a thorough implementation and process evaluation. The messages were positively received by parents but no impact on children’s educational outcomes were found.
