1. Example QuIP Evaluation (2) Tampon Tax Fund, UK
2. The Background • The Tampon Tax Fund (TTF) was set up by the UK Government in 2015 to channel money from the taxation of sanitary products to non-profit organisations and projects supporting women and girls • TTF provided £86.25 million through 137 grants, over 6 rounds of funding, ending in 2022. • The Fund had a broad remit, acknowledging that organisations supporting women and girls were best placed to identify priorities and needs.
3. • The wider evaluation, managed by Kantar Public UK (now Verian Group), included a grantee survey, bid review, public data analysis, case studies, and evidence synthesis from project-level M&E data to understand the impact of the fund, particularly in the last 3 years. Why QuIP? • Kantar Public chose to incorporate QuIP interviews to capture more detail from the perspective of grantees about harder to measure organisational and sectoral changes, and to explore the wider factors perceived to be contributing to these changes.
4. • The QuIP complemented the survey which was able to reach a larger number of grantees (77) but at lesser depth, and the case studies (8) which included a focus on process aspects and were less exploratory than the QuIP interviews. • The QuIP sample also included the experiences of smaller grant-making organisations who received onward grants, not covered elsewhere. • Given the relatively short time frame for the entire evaluation, many of the data collection components were running concurrently. How did it fit in?
5. • To what extent did the TTF impact organisation- and sector-level capacity? • What other factors (positively or negatively) influenced organisational and sectoral changes in services, partnerships and funding? Key research questions
6. This was an endline evaluation, and since QuIP does not require early planning or ongoing data collection, it was rolled out towards the end of the Fund’s operation. From start to finish the QuIP study took around 3 and a half months to complete; design conversations started in late September/early October 2022, and the report was submitted in mid-January 2023.
