Evaluation and Impact Measurement
Public bodies need to deliver services in an economic, equitable and efficient way. They require evidence to inform the strategic decisions and resource choices that need to be made. RAND Europe provides specialist evaluation expertise to gather useful and relevant data. Our wide-ranging methods are applied to the evaluation of various types of initiatives from innovative UK government pilot projects through to complex international interventions. We undertake our work on an ex ante, ex post, formative and/or summative basis in line with the project requirements. Depending on the particular research area involved, we deploy an evaluation team that combines our methodological capabilities with specialist knowledge in a variety of sectors.
Our work in EIM draws on the following tools and products:
- Evaluation frameworks and logic models
- Programme and project evaluation
- Impact assessment
- Futures analysis
More information about each is available in the Filter by Topic section below.
Research Using Evaluation Frameworks and Logic Models
Evaluation Frameworks and Logic Models
RAND Europe applies a collaborative but highly focused approach to the use of evaluation frameworks and logic modelling within projects, to identify and consider a range of useful performance indicators that enable progress towards goals to be effectively monitored.
Programme and Project Evaluations
Programme and Project Evaluations
RAND Europe has become leaders in conducting complex evaluations and understanding how to maximise the benefits of such evaluations for improved accountability and learning.
Impact Assessments
Impact Assessments
RAND Europe's impact assessments examine the effects of different policy options presented to governments and lead to better informed decisions.
Research Using Futures Analysis
Futures Analysis
RAND Europe carries out strategic analysis for many UK and European institutions, assessing the future impacts of actions over a wide range of policy areas, from science and technology to social cohesion. We offer innovative, tailored approaches based on qualitative and quantitative methodologies, including scenario thinking, modelling and forecasting, gaming, roadmapping and Delphi.
