Impact estimates usually come from a rigorous impact evaluation (RCT), but may require adjustments for CEA (such as present value discounting or reweighting).
3. Costs in CEA
3. Costs in CEA
It is much easier to document costs during program implementation than to reconstruct budgets after the fact.
4. Reporting results
4. Reporting results
Sometimes a single CE estimate is desired, but usually it's helpful to put it within the context of similar programs' cost-effectiveness.
5. Example of CEA
5. Example of CEA
