Research

We aim to become more evidence-based in our approach, both in designing our programmes and supporting our policy engagement initiatives.

To make an impactful change in policies, we have to ensure we provide adequate evidence, research and policy documentation illustrating that the issues we are concerned with require consideration.

Our policy and research work is based broadly around our four strategic priorities: also known as our change themes. These are health, education, social inclusion and community development.

Our research strategy sets out four objectives:

  • Keep up to date with the existing body of evidence and ensure its effective use in our programmes and advocacy
  • Conduct high quality research to generate new evidence to address global knowledge gaps and our operational challenges
  • Build organisational capacity and effective partnerships to generate, understand and use research evidence
  • Ensure effective dissemination of research findings within and outside the organisation

Gathering and disseminating sound research evidence is the best way to ensure our programmes are effective in achieving their goals and meeting the needs of the people they are designed to serve.
