China-IFAD SSTC Facility New Project Factsheets (February 2025)
These factsheets highlight the achievements of projects in Cuba, Kenya and Tajikistan that were supported by the China-IFAD South-South and Triangular Cooperation (SSTC) Facility.
Geographic information system (GIS) data is often used to map socio-economic data with a spatial component. This data, which is obtained from multiple open-source databases, complements official statistics and generates additional spatial inputs to statistical and econometric analyses.
IFAD uses impact assessments using data from face-to-face interviews in order to determine the impact of their projects on strategic goal and objectives. However, the COVID-19 pandemic meant these interviews could no longer take place.
This report documents how GIS methods and secondary data can be used as a complementary set of tools to conduct impact assessments when in-person interviews are not possible.
