IDinsight

IDinsight designs, deploys, and promotes evidence-generating tools designed to help organizations to combat poverty worldwide. The organization’s guiding principle is to inform decision makers’ priorities, maximizing rigor with decision makers’ budgetary, time, and operational constraints. IDinsight’s goals include building long partnerships that help governments improve specific policies and programs while simultaneously building their capacity to use evidence; expanding its data innovation work (including survey infrastructure that allows for data collection faster and at 10-50% of the cost of traditional surveys); and sharing its tools and learnings with others.

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.
