Methodological Briefs Comparative Case Studies: Methodological Briefs - Impact Evaluation No. 9 AUTHOR(S) Delwyn Goodrick Published: 2014 Methodological Briefs Comparative case studies involve the analysis and synthesis of the similarities, differences and patterns across two or more cases that share a common focus or goal in a way that produces knowledge that is easier to generalize about causal questions – how and why particular programmes or policies work or fail to work. They may be selected as an appropriate impact evaluation design when it is not feasible to undertake an experimental design, and/or when there is a need to explain how the context influences the success of programme or policy initiatives. Comparative case studies usually utilize both qualitative and quantitative methods and are particularly useful for understanding how the context influences the success of an intervention and how better to tailor the intervention to the specific context to achieve the intended outcomes. + - Cite this publication | No. of pages: 17 | Thematic area: Ethical research, Knowledge management | Tags: case studies, comparative analysis, programme evaluation, research methods × COPY BIBLIOGRAPHIC CITATION Delwyn Goodrick 2014 Comparative Case Studies: Methodological Briefs - Impact Evaluation No. 9. , pp. 17.

Innocenti Publications AIDS, Public Policy and Child Well-being AUTHOR(S) Giovanni Andrea Cornia Published: 2007 Innocenti Publications This study addresses one of the greatest challenges of our time: the damage caused by HIV and AIDS to the well-being of children and families. With 38.6 million people affected by HIV in 2006, with HIV prevalence at antenatal clinics exceeding 40 per cent in areas of Botswana and KwaZulu-Natal (South Africa), with nationwide adult prevalence in excess of the critical threshold of 20 per cent in several countries, and with the prospect of a rapid spread of the disease in large swathes of India, China and the Russian Federation, the future of child well-being is seriously threatened. Certainly, in the 50 or so countries affected by the disease, the Millennium Development Goals in the field of child survival, education, poverty and basic rights will be missed, often by a large margin. + - Cite this publication | No. of pages: 342 | Thematic area: Child Protection, Social Policies | Tags: aids, case studies, child care, child education, child headed families, child poverty, child survival and development, child welfare, family policy, hiv, orphans, public policy, right to adequate standard of living, right to health and health services × COPY BIBLIOGRAPHIC CITATION Giovanni Andrea Cornia 2007 AIDS, Public Policy and Child Well-being. , pp. 342.

Innocenti Occasional Papers, Decentralization and Local Governance Series The Philippines: A case study in local planning for children AUTHOR(S) Wilfredo G. Nuqui Published: 1994 Innocenti Occasional Papers, Decentralization and Local Governance Series The 1990 World Summit for Children set in motion the development of what were called ‘National Programmes of Action’ in a number of countries. In the Philippines the birth of the overall government plan has been accompanied by that of a number of supporting schemes at the provincial level. This paper examines the preparation and content of these local initiatives. It provides, in so doing, a clear picture of the Philippine experience of ‘decentralisation’ - the process whereby emphasis is transferred from large-scale capital development projects to more sustainable, community-based services for children. + - Cite this publication | No. of pages: 36 | Thematic area: National Development Programmes | Tags: case studies, community mobilization, community participation, decentralization, National Programme of Action | Publisher: UNICEF ICDC, Florence × COPY BIBLIOGRAPHIC CITATION Wilfredo G.
