Evidence and experiments – new developments in development cooperation
Research report (imported) 2023 - Max Planck Institut für ethnologische Forschung
Summary
A paradigm shift is changing how development policy is understood: with the help of experimental methods, evidence-based, international development cooperation strives to identify and quantitatively assess the effects of development interventions. My research project looks at what these changes mean for local communities in Western Kenya and examines how actors perceive these experimental methods.
