Overview
IDinsight generates and helps policymakers use evidence to inform decision making. This grant supports IDinsight's work in West and East Africa. In the next three years, IDinsight aims to (a) expand and develop new partnerships with national and subnational governments across Africa to support them in using evidence to inform policymaking; (b) partner with like-minded organizations across the continent to enhance both the demand for and supply of evidence that can inform policymaking; and (c) develop a world-class, locally grounded team that can drive IDinsight’s growth in the region for years to come.

IDinsight designs, deploys, and promotes evidence-generating tools designed to help organizations combat poverty worldwide.

The grantee’s goals are to (a) increase the impact of its direct support to decision makers, including by deepening and lengthening relationships; (b) raise expectations and lower barriers so that evidence is used for policymaking and implementation, including by lowering data collection costs; and (c) further enhance the organization's ability to attract and retain top talent.
