description:

Without baseline and impact studies, it is difficult to measure the impact of interventions on the quality of life of the beneficiary population. Since 2005, all IPEC projects in Pakistan include baseline and tracer studies as integral project components. However, they are not always accorded the requisite precedence in the face of other implementation demands, especially baseline studies, and when one is conducted in the absence of the other, its utility may be diluted. The lesson learnt for the projects is to ensure provision of budget and time to conduct the prescribed studies as a priority rather than emphasizing only the targets and timely delivery whose impact is hard to measure.
