Interim Evaluation of the ENABLE Funding Programme
What it examines
Examines programme delivery, additional lending to smaller businesses and diversity of finance. Stakeholder interviews suggest benefits for participating lenders, but the quantitative analysis could not identify a statistically significant lending impact and faced limitations in constructing a comparable counterfactual. The report recommends stronger evidence for the final evaluation.
Why it matters
Provides evidence for judging the additionality and value for money of BBB’s support for smaller finance providers, while distinguishing stakeholder feedback from measured lending impacts.
