Evidence Action

Evidence Action is a global nonprofit organization with an approach distinctive in international development – we exclusively scale interventions that are backed by strong evidence and can be delivered with exceptional cost-effectiveness. We take a data-driven approach to identifying and scaling interventions which deliver outsized impact for the hundreds of millions of impoverished individuals who are our clients. We deploy deep expertise in building for scale, coupled with a focus on rigorous measurement and continuous program improvement, to ensure these solutions measurably improve the lives of millions.

Evidence Action use evidence to improve global wellbeing. Global impact starts with asking the right questions: How far can a dollar go to improve a person’s health? How can we learn if our strategies are working? How can we ensure that they will continue to work?

At Evidence Action, we leverage rigorous research and iterate constantly to scale low-cost health interventions at life’s most critical stages, including pregnancy, infancy, childhood, and adolescence. We always follow the data to ensure maximum value for every dollar and maximum impact for every individual.

Our programs have reached over 515 million people by pairing proven interventions with creative new implementation models tailored to local contexts. As we mark our 10-year anniversary, we reaffirm our commitment to expanding access, improving cost-effectiveness, and utilizing evidence to inform every decision.

We’re global health experts, data analysts, development practitioners — and many of us are members of the communities we serve.
Our growing team spans the globe, with the vast majority of us based in the communities and countries where we work.
