Six areas where evidence changes outcomes.
Each focus area is chosen because the problems are persistent, the data gaps are real, and the potential for measurable change is high.
Health & nutrition
We support interventions that improve health outcomes where they matter most — with particular emphasis on the health of mothers, adolescents, and young children.
- Reproductive, maternal, newborn, child & adolescent health (RMNCAH)
- Nutrition and food security
- Health behavior change communication
Gender & social inclusion
Development that leaves people behind isn't development. We promote equitable outcomes by addressing the structures that produce exclusion in the first place.
- Advancing gender equality
- Addressing social and structural inequalities
- Inclusive programming for marginalized populations
Youth & socio-economic development
Africa's youth population is its greatest asset — when young people have skills, opportunity, and pathways. We work on all three.
- Skills development and employability
- Entrepreneurship and innovation
- Transition-to-work pathways
Water, sanitation & hygiene (WASH)
Public health begins with safe water and dignified sanitation. We contribute to systems that communities can run and sustain themselves.
- Expanding access to safe water and sanitation
- Hygiene practices and behavior change
- Community-based WASH systems
Climate & resilience
Climate vulnerability is rising fastest for communities least equipped to absorb it. We help local decision-makers plan with climate information, not despite its absence.
- Climate adaptation and resilience strategies
- Sustainable livelihoods
- Climate information in local decision-making
Education & skills development
We strengthen how learning happens — supporting teachers, modern pedagogy, and the practical and digital skills learners need beyond the classroom.
- Inquiry-based and competency-based learning
- Teacher capacity and professional development
- Digital literacy and practical skills

If your programme touches any of these six areas and needs design, evidence, or evaluation support — we'd love to hear about it.
