Evaluation is a key task for any foundation interested in “making the difference”, “fostering social change”, “being a policy actor” or ”influencing the policy maker”. Nonetheless, not so many foundations undertake actions aimed at evaluating the possible impact of their philanthropic activities.
In 2008 the Cariplo Foundation started the “Lavoro & Psiche” (Work & Psyche) project aimed at experimenting a new clinical and organizational approach to facilitate active job policies for people with mental health problems. The project is characterized by an accurate evaluation process, based on methodologies that make extensive use of “randomized trials”.
Departing from this seminal (to the Italian landscape) experiment, the session aims at discussing the role of philanthropic foundations in fostering policy evaluation in the field of social policies through “demonstrations” based on random trials.
