Mission
Evidence Action scales proven, rigorously evaluated development solutions to benefit millions of people around the world. We fill the gap between knowing “what works" and having impact at massive scale. We work according to the following principles: · Only scale interventions whose efficacy is backed by substantial rigorous evidence; · Target cost-effective interventions that can improve the lives of millions; · Identify innovative, appropriate financing mechanisms; · Build best practice operational models; · Voraciously self-evaluate, learn and improve our models for scaling. Evidence Action's two flagship programs are Deworm the World Initiative and Dispensers for Safe Water, serving a combined 40 million people in Southeast Asia and Eastern and Southern Africa.
