TASK: Prepare a concept note for a public policy organization (e.g. government ministry, nongovernmental organization, etc.) for an impact evaluation on a policy or intervention of your choice. You have to specify both the policy and the context. The policy can either be a real policy (existing or under consideration) or a hypothetical one – please specify this when introducing the policy and institutional context. Your concept note should cover the following: 1. Motivation, background, and key institutional features (10% of final mark) 2. Theory of change and evaluation questions (20% of final mark) 3. Evaluation design and data collection plan (50% of final mark) 4. Practicalities, ethical issues, and risks (10% of final mark) 5. Potential policy implications (10% of final mark) In addition to demonstrating an understanding of evidence quality and use, your concept note should also reflect some of the constraints often faced by public policy organizations. These could include issues such as finite budgets, the (in)feasibility of using various evaluation methods for certain topics, limited administrative capacity, or political considerations. The concept note should demonstrate not just an understanding of what constitutes a rigorous impact evaluation, but also creativity and realism in designing a feasible evaluation with real-world policy relevance.

1. Choose a sport development organization such as a National Governing Body of sport (NGB). It is also possible to study other suitable organizations including London Sport or StreetGames. 2.

Examine the annual reports of your chosen organization for the past two years (2019-2020) to understand how their capacity has been affected by the pandemic. 3. Analyse Sport England’s support for NGBs and the sport sector in general to identify measures that will help build specific capacities subject to your analysis (see the documents available at these links – https://www.sportengland.org/how-we-can-help/coronavirus/return-play/support-projects-and-organisations/coronavirus-tools-and; https://www.sportengland.org/how-we-can-help/supporting-clubs). (see also the background SaveOurSport petition at https://www.englandnetball.co.uk/sport-new-year-resolution/). Please pay attention that in your analysis you need to relate organizational culture to capacity building as an essential element of it. 4. Based on your findings and relevant literature, you will write an individual report of 2000 words.
