IFS Monitoring and Evaluation

Impact Studies (MESIA)        

IFS Impact Studies measures the impact of IFS activities in developing countries and indicates opportunities for future initiatives and investment. The method of analysis, the "Monitoring and Evaluation System for Impact Assessment" (MESIA) has been developed for the evaluation of the capacity building efforts of IFS.

The IFS Impact Studies also investigate the research environment and working conditions of IFS Grantees, and provide an overview of national science and technology systems.

The analysis is based on data available in the IFS database, scientometric analyses of the scientific output of IFS Grantees, questionnaire surveys, and interviews with scientists and policy makers.
