Generating credible evidence for better policy, programmes and investment decisions.
Research plays a critical role in understanding development challenges and informing action. Yet research only creates value when it addresses the right questions, uses appropriate methods and produces findings that decision-makers can apply with confidence.
This executive programme equips participants with practical approaches for designing, commissioning, managing and interpreting applied research in development contexts.
Governments, development partners and regional organisations increasingly depend on research to guide policy, evaluate programmes and inform investment decisions. Common challenges include:
Participants apply the concepts to real development challenges.
Ensuring research begins with clearly articulated policy and programme needs.
Selecting appropriate methods, data sources and analytical approaches.
Communicating findings that support policy, planning and organisational improvement.
Organisations completing this programme will be better equipped to:
No matter the sector, organisations rarely fail because they lack data. They struggle because evidence is fragmented across disciplines, institutions and decision-making processes. Quadripoint Nexus Consult brings together four complementary perspectives to help organisations understand problems more completely and design solutions that are practical, evidence-informed and sustainable.
Understanding what should be measured, how it should be measured and whether available evidence is fit for purpose.
Understanding incentives, trade-offs, efficiency and the broader drivers of development outcomes.
Connecting evidence to policy choices, implementation priorities and long-term organisational objectives.
Recognising that institutions, leadership, capacity and human behaviour ultimately determine whether change occurs.
Measurement generates evidence. Economics helps interpret findings. Strategy connects research to decisions. People ensure knowledge leads to change.
Strengthen your organisation's ability to generate credible evidence that informs policy, improves programmes and creates lasting development impact.
