The Partnership for Economic Inclusion (PEI) and the Development Impact Department (DIME), in coordination with technical partners, will host the Third Technical Workshop under the PEI Impact Collaborative on October 30th & 31st, 2024. This workshop will highlight the progress made in the Collaborative’s country engagements and spotlight cases that are contributing to close critical knowledge gaps in economic inclusion programming. The workshop will also dive into ongoing efforts to create cutting-edge tools for tracking implementation and capturing the impact of government-led economic inclusion programs.
Objectives:
Foster Discussions: Advance conversations on market effects, resilience to shocks, women’s economic empowerment, implementation quality, and cost-effectiveness.
Share Insights: Provide a platform for operational and research teams to present impact evaluation progress and results, discuss implementation challenges, and receive eedback on measurement.
Encourage Collaborations: Promote peer-to-peer learning among technical partners and practitioners.
The PEI Impact Collaborative convenes implementing partners and technical teams with the goal of enhancing the effectiveness of the next generation of government-led economic inclusion programs. The Collaborative engages with practitioners in selected countries to address strategic policy and operational questions and connects partners across countries to share lessons on effective approaches to scale economic inclusion programming.
Audience:
The technical workshop is open to World Bank operations and research staff, as well as external practitioners and researchers interested in tools to measure impacts for Economic Inclusion programs.
Event Language: English.
