Strength of Evidence Sample Clauses

Strength of Evidence. Panelists should evaluate each proposal based on the type of project – either causal or feasibility. The project narrative must contain a clear statement of the type of project proposed. This must include evaluating the information in the proposals about any existing evidence for the proposed intervention, as well as the level of each proposal’s claims of exiting causal evidence and/or ability to generate causal evidence based on the evaluation design. The panelists should refer to the criteria from the CLEAR, WWC, the Pathways to Work Evidence Clearinghouse, and other similar clearinghouses. (Refer to Section IV.B.ii.3.a.ii for more information on the clearinghouses.) All proposals, whether causal or feasibility, must include information about any evidence ratings assigned to similar interventions and evaluation methods by relevant clearinghouses regarding the causal impact or potential identification of causal impacts of the proposed intervention. If the proposed project builds on any prior research that a clearinghouse has previously reviewed and rated, such information should be included in the project narrative. For proposed projects that do not build on research that a clearinghouse has previously reviewed and rated, the project narrative should include information about the rating the project would likely receive under the clearinghouses’ criteria based on their design. For causal studies, panelists should refer to the evidence ratings assigned to similar interventions or interventions using similar evaluation methods by relevant clearinghouses regarding the causal impact of the proposal intervention. For feasibility studies, panelists should refer to the guidelines from the clearinghouses for high quality non-causal research and evaluation methods. Panelists will award points for evidence based on previous interventions, interventions similar to the proposed intervention that were shown to produce the desired outcomes as a direct result of the intervention and not as a result of other factors, or interventions designed to produce strong causal evidence.

  • General Background Ecuador is part of the United Nations Convention of 1951 relating to the Status of Refugees and its 1967 Protocol, as well as major international and regional human rights instruments that recognize the right to asylum. It is also part of the United Nations Convention of 1954 relating to the Status of Stateless Persons and the United Nations Convention of 1961 on the Reduction of Statelessness. The asylum procedure in Ecuador is regulated by the Organic Law of Human Mobility, effective February 6, 2017. Ecuador is a country of transit and destination for people who need international protection. In the last two decades, Ecuador hosted more than 68,708 recognized refugees (mainly Colombian) and has become one of the leading countries of transit and destination for Venezuelan refugees and migrants. Ecuador receives the third highest number of Venezuelans after Colombia and Peru. Since 2016, more than 4.7 million Venezuelans have left their country, making it the biggest exodus in the history of Latin America. Of these, 2.2 million have entered Ecuador, of which estimated 500,000 have been established in the country according to the R4V. In 2019, approximately 2,100 Venezuelans per day entered Ecuador (with peaks of 6,000) until 26 August, when Ecuador began requiring visas for Venezuelans. Since 2018, the number of Venezuelan asylum seekers exceeded the number of asylum seekers from Colombia. The Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees works in Ecuador supporting the Ecuadorian government to protect refugees and looking for durable solutions. UNHCR's operation in Ecuador began in 2000 as part of the strategy of the organization to protect and provide assistance, particularly to the victims of the Colombian conflict.
