The Institute of Socioeconomic Research (IISEC), the Bolivian Catholic University "San Pablo", and the ARU Foundation present a special issue of the Latin American Journal of Economic Development (LAJED). On this occasion, it seeks to contribute to the debate. In addition, the document provides added value by exposing various impact evaluation methodologies that respond to the availability of data that a country such as Bolivia has.
During the last dates several public policies were implemented in the social area in Bolivia. Many of these policies seek solutions in problems of employment, education, social protection, health and support to the productive sector among others. The objectives of these programs focus on the well-being of groups of people. However, many of these public policies do not have an analysis on the effects they had on the life of the population.
