=Impact Assessment Studies on Livestock Related Research=

This wiki page provides a dynamic annotated bibliography of all accessible Impact Assessment Studies conducted by ILRI. The studies are organized according to the SPIA classification of ex-post Impact Assessments (epIAs), with links to the original documents. SPIA classifies epIAs into Stage I and Stage II studies. Stage I includes studies that are Technology focused, assessing intermediate impacts at some geographical aggregate scale after dissemination and adoption has occurred and there is evidence of costs and benefits at the adopter level. Stage II studies conduct assessments of the big picture community-level impacts along the impact pathway when adoption is sufficiently scaled up to see changes at mission-goal level (e.g. poverty, environmental sustainability, health etc.). A third category includes studies that do not fall in any of two SPIA epIA categories. This wiki give a single one-stop master list which can be used reference.
