Evaluation and
Research

I4DI’s evaluators specialize in making critical judgments about the effectiveness of your program, policy, or organizational strategy. We do this by distilling results at various levels along a theory of change- from outputs and outcomes, to intermediate and long-term impact. Essential to our work is evaluation utilization.

This means we design and disseminate our findings and recommendations to address the needs of the end-user. Whether you are looking to better allocate resources, study and share results for transparency and accountability, or facilitate an adaptive management process, we ensure that our evaluations are fit-for-purpose and cost-effective. I4DI has expertise in the range of experimental, quasi-experimental, and non-experimental designs and our work has influenced decision-makers at the likes of USAID, the United Nations, and the World Bank, and private sector clients, like Gap Inc. and Mars Inc.
