I am Amadou Binta Ba from Senegal, a PhD student in Climate Change Economics. For my thesis, I am doing an ex-post impact evaluation of a climate change adaptation intervention. To achieve this, I need to learn about impact evaluation methods and so for this reason I am happy to take part in this e-mail conference.
The project I am planning to evaluate is a project which introduced new farming techniques based on agro-ecology farming methods to help family farmers in the Niayes area of Senegal to adapt to climate change. I want to evaluate the impact of the project on the livelihood of farmers measured as income, crop yield and food security. From what I have learned so far about ex-post impact evaluation methods, I think that the propensity score matching method will be the most suitable method for my study because participants in the project self select themselves into the project. The problem I am facing in my evaluation is that I don't master the evaluation methods. I really need training on it as the reading only is not enough, I feel a little bit lost. Any advice on how best to carry out such an ex post impact evaluation would be very much appreciated.
