-Experimental designs (also known as randomization) are generally considered the most robust of the evaluation methodologies. By randomly allocating the intervention among eligible beneficiaries, the assignment process itself creates comparable treatment and control groups that are statistically equivalent to one another, given appropriate sample sizes. This is a very powerful outcome because, in theory, the [[Control_Groups|control groups]] generated through random assignment serve as a perfect counterfactual, free from the troublesome selection bias issues that exist in all evaluations.<ref name="World Bank - http://siteresources.worldbank.org/INTISPMA/Resources/handbook.pdf">World Bank - http://siteresources.worldbank.org/INTISPMA/Resources/handbook.pdf</ref>
