Impact assessment attempts to measure social and economic changes and attribute them to specific programmes and activities.
ITAD uses a structured approach starting with an evaluation framework that specifies hypotheses of change and identifies the 'counterfactual' or what would have happened without the activities.
A big challenge for methodology is in designing means of comparison to measure change 'before and after' an intervention or by comparing 'with and without' an initiative.
We have extensive experience of practical solutions and keep abreast of current research thinking about the suitability of experimental approaches. We advocate integrated approaches to quantitative and qualitative field studies using both participatory and questionnaire-based data collection.
