Where Evidence Powers Well-being

High-quality research for development

We work with decision-makers to build evidence-based solutions to improve children’s holistic well-being.

WHAT WE DO

We generate evidence that drives action​.

Through rigorous research, we equip those who can and will act to promote the most effective, efficient, and ethical actions—both in terms of what to do and how to do it.
