We are committed to generating high-quality evidence that informs decision-making and drives measurable impact across the education sector. Our research expertise encompasses:
Data Science:
We harness the power of data to uncover insights that can improve educational outcomes. Our data science capabilities include predictive modeling, data visualization, and the development of data-driven tools to support evidence-based decision-making. We transform complex data sets into actionable intelligence, enabling our partners to identify trends, understand patterns, and optimize resource allocation.
Research Methods:
We employ a diverse range of research methodologies, including quantitative, qualitative, and mixed-methods approaches, to address complex educational challenges. Our expertise extends to experimental and quasi-experimental designs, ensuring the rigor and validity of our findings. We are committed to using the most appropriate methods to answer critical research questions and generate reliable evidence.
Research Support:
We provide comprehensive research support to governments, institutions, and development partners, from study design and data collection to analysis and dissemination. Our team of experienced researchers offers technical assistance, capacity building, and mentorship, empowering our partners to conduct high-quality research and use evidence effectively.
Impact Evaluation:
We specialize in conducting rigorous impact evaluations to assess the effectiveness of educational interventions and programs. Our evaluations provide evidence on what works, what doesn’t, and why, enabling our partners to make informed decisions about scaling up successful programs and improving those that are less effective. We are committed to using impact evaluation to drive continuous improvement and ensure that investments in education translate into meaningful outcomes.
Our Approach:
We are driven by a commitment to generating evidence that is both rigorous and relevant. We work in close collaboration with our partners to ensure that our research is aligned with their needs and priorities.
