The main objective of this Technical Cooperation project is to strengthen the evaluation capacities of beneficiary agencies' productive programs using administrative data. The specific objectives are to: (i) Facilitate the design and implementation of impact evaluations of two productive development public programs in Chile. It is expected that one of these programs had been advanced by Servicio de Cooperación Técnica (SERCOTEC) and the other one by Corporación de Fomento (CORFO). The evaluations will incorporate merged data from these programs and the administrative records from Chile's national tax authority, Servicio de Impuestos Internos (SII). (ii) Facilitate the design and implementation of impact evaluations of at least two productive development public programs in Peru. It is expected that one of these programs had been advanced by Pro Innóvate and the other one by Consejo Nacional de Ciencia, Tecnología e Innovación (CONCYTEC) . The evaluations will utilize combined data from these programs and the administrative records of payroll, firms' performance, trade, and debt collected by various Peruvian regulatory agencies. (iii) Support the establishment of a permanent interagency cooperation agreement between Peru's Ministry of Economy and Finance and public agencies involved in productive development programs, as previously mentioned, to facilitate the sharing of administrative records concerning payroll, firms' performance, trade, and debt.(iv) Build capacities within the agencies participating in the impact evaluations referred in paragraphs (i) and (ii), for them to exploit shared administrative records for the permanent evaluation of some of their productive development programs.
