Evidence Aid

Using Evidence, Saving Lives

Humanitarian emergencies affect tens of millions of people every year, destroying lives and livelihoods. In the aftermath of a crisis, it is vital that those involved in delivering aid have access to the best available evidence to guide their actions. The right evidence, in the right form, in the right hands can save lives.

When an emergency strikes, aid agencies work hard to ensure that they deliver the best possible interventions. But it is often difficult to keep on top of the latest development in research and evaluation. Not all research is readily accessible (or even published). Research is not always carried out to a consistent standard and the recommendations for practitioners are not always clear.

Working both prior to and during emergencies, Evidence Aid works to ensure that humanitarian actors have access to the very latest evidence, presented in clear, simple formats, so that they can design and deliver the interventions that will be most likely to save lives and livelihoods.
