Journal of Development Effectiveness

英文简介

The aim of the Journal of Development Effectiveness is to support evidence-based policy making to enhance development effectiveness. We do this by publishing high quality research that examines evidence of the impact of projects, programs and policies in developing countries, and discussions of experience in conducting impact evaluations and using their findings to inform policy and program design.Although we don’t favour any one methodology, the research we publish must apply rigorous evaluation techniques that address biases robustly. We have an interest in research which has been well contextualised with an appropriate use of mixed methods. Research reporting interventions with no, or a negative, impact is also welcome as we have an explicit policy of ‘learning from our mistakes’, discouraging publication bias in favour of positive results. We welcome research that explores: The effectiveness of programmes and projects that affects the lives of people in low and middle-income countries across all sectors; How such analyses can lead to better decisions by programme implementers and policy makers; Programme evaluations across all sectors but especially encourage those that in understudied areas and that help countries meet sustainable development goals; Methods that could improve such studies.

《发展有效性杂志》的目的是支持以证据为基础的政策制定，以提高发展有效性。我们通过发表高质量的研究来实现这一目标，研究发展中国家项目、计划和政策的影响证据，讨论进行影响评估的经验，并利用其发现来为政策和计划设计提供信息。虽然我们不赞成任何一种方法论，但我们发表的研究必须应用严格的评估技术，以有力地解决偏差。我们对研究很感兴趣，这些研究已经很好地适应了混合方法的适当使用。我们也欢迎没有或负面影响的研究报告干预措施，因为我们有明确的政策“从错误中学习”，抑制出版偏见，有利于取得积极成果。我们欢迎探索以下领域的研究：影响所有部门中低收入国家人民生活的方案和项目的有效性；这些分析如何能使方案执行者和决策者做出更好的决策；所有部门的方案评价，特别是鼓励在研究不充分地区的方案评价，帮助各国实现可持续发展目标；可以改进这类研究的方法。
