Is the counterfactual the same project but with a conventional M&E system, an RCT, or no M&E? What are the questions you are exploring? Seems fascinating and it would be interesting for the current debates on impact evaluation (whether factual or counter-factual) to have more evidence behind them...Katherine Hayhttp://twitter.com/#!/katherine_haynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6335146197342151188.post-21087619646683592842011-03-18T10:57:24.436+00:002011-03-18T10:57:24.436+00:00Diviran...agree that this is only a partial soluti...Diviran...agree that this is only a partial solution (if that)....there are many more things to do..I liked your suggestions of what the private sector could do...I wonder what the incentives are?Lawrence Haddadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17265061444076801962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6335146197342151188.post-42363397342535040232011-03-16T18:38:07.065+00:002011-03-16T18:38:07.065+00:00What you've said is true, but it is only a par...What you've said is true, but it is only a partial solution: how effective are citizens at holding their government to account?<br /><br />Businesses can also work on the problem of corruption, and international aid agencies can support them. Businesses can shun the corrupt, stagnant public procurement markets; and instead invest in growing, competitive, open market opportunities that employ more people and raise incomes. This is happening now even in Nigeria's fertiliser sector.Divirianhttp://divirian.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.com
