Impact assessment is a very challenging field. While many people would like simple statistics on achievements, there are many practical problems to overcome. Attribution, displacement, 'deadweight' and several other issues all have to be addressed; the only answer is often for those involved to think through carefully what causal chain is implicit in their initiative. What do they expect to happen, and how can they show that each effect is causally linked back to the original inputs? At the time of writing, this field is still in its infancy; note that DFID's EDIAIS site has started to build some pages on the theme of "Assessing the Impact of Business Enabling Environments", which you can access here.
