Turning evidence into better decisions and lasting change

Every day, organisations make decisions that shape programmes, policies and people’s lives. Better decisions start with evidence that is understood and informed by real-world experience.

We work alongside organisations to generate and make sense of evidence, bringing together research, practical experience and real-world insights to inform decisions, practical solutions and stronger implementation.

Why Evidence & BEYOND?

We do not stop at the evidence.
Research, data and learning can reveal what is happening and what may work. But organisations often need support to understand what the evidence means for their context and how to put it into practice.

That is where we go “BEYOND”.

We help partners bring together research, practical experience and lived experience to better understand challenges and identify the solutions most likely to work. We then support them to design, strengthen and continuously improve programmes, products, policies and systems.

What Makes Us Different?

We design for use from the beginning. We involve the people who will apply, deliver or be affected by the work so that evidence is relevant, accessible and actionable.

We connect evidence to real decisions. We help partners move from findings and insights to clear priorities and practical choices.

We stay alongside partners as ideas become action We support the journey from understanding and design through implementation, learning and improvement

OUR APPROACH

Evidence alone doesn't change anything. We turn it into decisions, solutions, and results that last ,with the people who have to make them work. The illustration below shows the five core elements of our approach:

Together, these steps ensure our solutions are tested in reality, owned by the people who use it. Built to last.

FEATURED WORK

Evidence put into practice.

Strengthening School-Based Violence Prevention in Kenya

We are partnering with the Kenya Conference of Catholic Bishops (KCCB) to strengthen child safeguarding in Catholic schools. Together, we have built foundations for violence prevention through hybrid learning and workshops, and are now co-designing a multi-level, faith-aligned prevention package using evidence, practice experience, and the voices of teachers and learners. This phase will include developing and pretesting draft materials with KCCB teams and diocesan facilitators, then refining them to produce a final package ready for implementation.

The LEARN Toolkit — Creating Safer Schools in Kenya

We are partnering with the Ministry of Education, Teachers Service Commission, LVCT Health, and school communities to end corporal punishment in Kenyan schools. The LEARN Toolkit equips learners with life skills, trains teachers in positive discipline, supports school leaders to embed safe school policies, and engages caregivers to reinforce positive practices at home. This pilot phase will test the feasibility and acceptability of the toolkit in Kiambu and Homa Bay Counties, using feedback from learners, teachers, and parents to refine materials before national scale-up.
