Evaluating Policy Influence with Process Tracing - gLOCAL2022 Event

Through its policy dialogue, convening activities, knowledge products and provision of expertise, the World Bank Group seeks to inform and shape the reform trajectories of its client countries. While this pathway to country outcomes is fundamental to the effectiveness of World Bank Group engagement, it is notoriously hard to unpack and evaluate. As a result, knowledge on what works, and what does not in policy influencing remains primarily tacit and experiential, making organizational learning on this topic difficult.
This recording demonstrates and discusses how process-tracing approaches can help bridge this knowledge gap. Hear examples of evaluating the contribution of policy influence interventions among several international organizations, development partners, and more.
