We are driven by the belief that innovative action paired with evidence of what works accelerates the eradication of global poverty. We partner with frontline organizations to develop and test innovative solutions to poverty through randomized evaluations. Combining technical rigor, immediate policy interest, and solid grounding in the needs of poor, our work helps practitioners better allocate their resources and improve their operations.

We believe that both the willingness and the capacity to implement evidence-driven solutions depends on familiarity with the principles and practices of evaluation research. Accordingly, we look at every evaluation as an opportunity to enhance the ability of our partners to conduct their own evaluations and to interpret the results of others. We involve our partners in every stage of an evaluation, providing hands-on experience in the research process, and leaving them better equipped to follow through with the implementation of tested strategies when the research is completed.
