| Abstract | With the shift from Housing to Human Settlements, the National Department of Human Settlements (NDOHS) has changed its focus from a purely quantitative approach (the number of houses delivered) to a more holistic view of building sustainable communities. With the technical assistance of the World Bank, the NDOHS has conducted a new series of rigorous impact evaluations to assess the effects of the Upgrading of Informal Settlements Programme (UISP) interventions in seven of the nine provinces in South Africa. This is aimed at reliably identifying causal links between the rollout of the UISP and the outcomes of interest driven by policy prescriptions (as well as broader concerns) for the program. An impact evaluation framework is being used to assess the program’s effectiveness in obtaining its policy objectives as well as influencing policy reviews resulting from the research findings. |
