Understanding whether financial education works, how it works and what are the most appropriate methods for evaluating financial education programmes are key components of a successful national strategy for financial education. Good programme evaluation allows to show whether objectives are being met, to identify elements that can be scaled-up or replicated. It also allows policy makers to test different approaches to see which are the most cost efficient, and to assess whether different methodologies have differential impact on various population subgroups.
