LEVERAGING EVIDENCE FOR ACCESS AND DEVELOPMENT

WHY WE DO IT

Because, rigorous research,

1. Ensures that a development programme achieves its desired impact. 2. Validates a development programme’s relevance and its response to the real needs of (targeted?)

beneficiaries. 3. Equips a programme with information vital for its effectiveness. 4. Plays a crucial role in assessing the impact of a programme, on individuals or households or

livelihoods as a whole.

Simply, evidence-informed decisions lead to better social outcomes.

OUR 10 YEAR MILESTONE: HOW ARE WE DOING?

Our research has helped organisations evaluate the impact of their development programmes. Our research portfolio includes, but is not limited to, Randomised Control Trials, Cohort Studies, Panel Studies, Policy Studies, and Short-Term Advisory Studies. We have completed over 150 rigorous studies in our focus areas, and have several research studies underway in collaboration with world-renowned academics, Government institutions, and non-profit organisations. We evaluate social programmes and services provided by local institutions and offer actionable recommendations to our funders to increase impact and to improve the lives of the rural poor living in India and in low-to-middle income countries.

We are proud of how far we have come, but humbled by how much further we have to get. And for this, we solicit your support!

“Does providing agricultural information to farmers through mobile phones improve farm productivity?”

(Target specific partner-above)

Research studies with farmers has consistently shown that it does. Such information, with evidence to support it, would be hugely beneficial to (you-NAME of org) to help align CSR strategies with your core competencies.

Increasingly today, more than at any other time in history, corporates in India such as “your organisation-name” are coming forward to seal their commitment to advancing sustainable development that can promote viable economic growth, support ecological balance, and enhance equitable and inclusive social welfare.

We are commemorating our landmark year with an event CELEBRATING 10 YEARS of EVIDENCE-BASED DEVELOPMENT that will bring together policymakers, government officials, world-renowned academics, corporates, and non-profit partners on the same platform forging new partnerships, and celebrating, not just us, but really the role of evidence-based decision-making in enhancing livelihoods and lifting people out of poverty.

We need you and your invaluable support to make this important conversation possible, and to maximise the impact of your social initiatives.

By partnering with us and funding this event, you can forge your continued commitment to evidence-based research and development initiatives for the greater good.
