Economic and Social Research Foundation

The Economic and Social Research Foundation is a Tanzanian think tank. With this grant, the organization will expand its impact evaluation research, and provide training and support to Tanzanian researchers and policymakers who are interested in this kind of policy analysis.

With this grant, the Economic and Social Research Foundation (ESRF), a Tanzanian think tank, will conduct a three-week training in impact evaluation for researchers, practitioners, and policymakers. ESRF will also provide follow up support to participants interested in conducting or commissioning evaluations and explore expanding its own impact evaluation work.

The Economic and Social Research Foundation (ESRF) is a Tanzanian think tank. This grant supports their Impact Evaluation Laboratory, which works to improve government policymaking and implementation in government through introducing or expanding the use of policy-relevant evidence. During this grant period, ESRF aims to increase the capacity of its staff and other Tanzanian researchers to conduct, publish, and drive the use of policy-relevant impact evaluations. It will also support government counterparts who want to use impact evaluations to inform policy design and implementation. This work advances our Impact Evaluation substrategy within our Evidence-Informed Policymaking portfolio, particularly our goal of growing the field of African impact evaluation researchers.
