OUR FOCUS

Research

Evidence Based Decision-Making is a process for making decisions about a program, practice, or policy that is grounded in the best available research evidence and informed by experiential evidence from the field and relevant contextual evidence.

Evidence based decision-making has become increasingly prominent on the national and international development agendas. An evidence-based approach helps policy-makers and practitioners make well informed decisions by putting the best available evidence at the heart of policy and programme development and implementation. Organizations should use research to establish or confirm facts, reaffirm the results of previous work, solve new or existing­ problems and support or develop new theories.

HDI carries out research to assist our clients to: Keep up to date with the existing body of evidence and ensure its effective use in their programs; Generate new evidence to address global knowledge gaps and thematic areas challenges; Understand and determine needs, local perceptions and realities of programme contexts.
