The QUIP sets out to generate differentiated evidence of impact based on narrative causal statements elicited directly from intended project beneficiaries without use of a control group.

This narrative data is intended to complement quantitative evidence on changes in X, Y and Z obtained through routine project monitoring.

It is a useful approach to document stories of impact and to develop an understanding of the factors that enhance or impede impact. The Success Case Method deliberately looks...
