Impact Advisory
The IA vertical is committed to developing evidence-based solutions to address development challenges by leveraging robust monitoring and evaluation systems and generating actionable insights for impactful programs. Recently, we have delivered research and evidence programs on diverse themes, including Building Development Plans for Climate Resilience and Adaptation, Women’s Leadership in Disaster Risk Reduction Governance, Living Income Benchmarking, Safety Index for the Automotive Manufacturing Sector, and Climate-Smart Agriculture Strategies.
In the domain of Monitoring & Evaluation, we have served as a knowledge partner, conducting a comprehensive baseline study in 2023-24 focused on adolescent girls, examining key indicators in education, health, and livelihoods for both in-school and out-of-school girls.
Our efforts have included engaging with multiple stakeholders to make education—especially STEM subjects—accessible to girls and facilitating their transition to work opportunities. Notably, we have focused on hilly, remote, and hard-to-reach regions like Pauri Garhwal, Uttarakhand, ensuring education and livelihood pathways for girls in these underserved areas.
2.1 Monitoring & Evaluation
We develop customized frameworks to assess and enhance the effectiveness of development programs, providing organizations with evidence to scale their impact. For example, a project on evaluations of centrally sponsored schemes on social inclusion and justice delivery have informed actionable recommendations for improving governance structures.
2.2 Research & Evidence
We generate high-quality research and evidence across key thematic areas, supporting policy advocacy and program design. Our work includes both qualitative and quantitative studies to inform decision- making.
