Abstract
IEG’s meta-evaluation serves as an
input for the upcoming independent external review of its
evaluations. The report focuses on aspects of credibility
related to the rationale, focus, use of innovative methods,
and various research design attributes as formulated in
evaluation reports and their respective approach papers.
Drawing on a set of 28 evaluations published from fiscal
year 2015 to 2019, the meta-evaluation offers six major
conclusions and suggestions based on a systematic review of
evaluation scope, reliability, validity (including
construct, internal, external, and data analysis validity),
consistency, and the integration of innovative methods.
