Not only are development interventions in general coming under scrutiny in terms of the impact they are having on eradicating poverty or achieving the other millennium goals, but also development research is increasingly subject to such an examination. To address these issues AFGRP commissioned a review of the methodological issues in identifying the impact of research projects.
 The objectives of this paper are two-fold: • To identify the methods which might be used to identify the impact of research projects. A robust methodology is essential if the gains from research are to be identified and the lessons of successful research projects integrated into the development research arena. A range of methods is discussed and the situations in which one or other is appropriate is identified. • To consider how the requirements for successful impact assessment can be incorporated into research design. As will be shown later, one of the problems facing impact assessment is that it tends to be done in a post hoc fashion, little attention being paid to the requirements of impact assessment at the research planning and implementation stages.
