OUR APPROACH

At Evidence & BEYOND, our strength lies in how we work. We believe lasting change comes from co-creating with partners, not from top-down solutions. Our approach is a continuous cycle that ensures every engagement is ethical, context-driven, and designed for lasting impact. It begins with deep listening and flows through evidence gathering, co-creation, capacity strengthening and learning. These five steps guide how we support organisations to design, strengthen, and sustain evidence-informed programmes.

Listen

We begin by listening and learning from our partners, understanding their priorities, context, and lived realities to ensure our support builds on what already works.

Gather evidence

From this understanding, we turn to the evidence, reviewing global research and practice-based knowledge to identify what works and inform design decisions.

Co create

Together with our partners, we translate these insights into action, co-designing or refining solutions that are relevant, practical, and grounded in context.

Strengthen capacity

As we co-create, we build on partners’ existing strengths, equipping them with the knowledge, skills, and tools to implement and adapt solutions effectively and sustainably.

Adapt

We continue to learn together, monitoring, evaluating, and documenting progress to turn insights into practical actions that strengthen programmes and inform future design. This cycle of learning ensures that impact deepens and progress endures over time.

Why This Matters

Our approach ensures change is designed, lived, and sustained. By combining listening, co-creation, and knowledge generation with evidence applied in delivery, we move beyond projects to build resilient systems. This creates solutions that are practical today while transforming policies and institutions for the future, leaving partners with ownership, capacity, and evidence that endure.
