About Evidence ActionOur Approach to Development -- Reducing poverty and spurring growth in developing countries requires strategic, high-value investment of scarce resources, whether they come from donors, governments, or communities. Interventions to reduce the burden of poverty need to be rigorously identified, tested, and scaled up to be cost-effective and have high impact.Evidence Action develops and de-risks models for such interventions that allow tens of millions of people to be served and return on investment be measured.We bridge the gap between rigorous research and pilot interventions on one hand, and institutionalized programs on the other. By focusing on promising approaches backed by rigorous evidence, we support programs that are measurably effective; by seeking to solve the challenge of scale, we provide cost-effective impact for many.What makes Evidence Action unique is our process: we spend much of our energy identifying evidence-based interventions, pressure-testing them for scalable feasibility, and designing them to serve millions. We identify innovative, appropriate financing mechanisms and build best practice operational models. We voraciously self-evaluate, learn, and improve our models for scaling with a commitment to transparency on progress, impact, and value for money.We lead with our values, putting evidence first. By going where the evidence leads us, it allows our decision making process–how we choose which innovations to scale up and how to constantly evaluate them–to produce programs that have the largest impact for investment.Evidence ActionEVACT_417969c2-29ee-11eb-a9f8-fe410383ea00Evidence Action is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization in the United States, and contributions to us are tax deductible in the U.S. to the fullest extent allowable by law.

In 2019, Michael Kremer (Nobel Laureate, Economic Sciences) even contributed one of our dispensers to the Nobel Museum to represent his work! Kremer and colleagues from Harvard and Berkeley tested chlorine dispensers in Kenya against a variety of other water treatment options. They found that 1) chlorine dispensers had much higher usage rates than comparable treatments, and 2) usage stayed high over time.Epidemiological research suggests significant reductions in diarrhea in communities provided with a water quality intervention, while economic research demonstrates that the expansion of safe water projects reduces child mortality. We’ve also reviewed the evidence base linking chlorination to health outcomes and found that chlorine is effective at killing diarrhea-causing pathogens. Safety concerns with diluted chlorine are minimal, and it is used as a disinfectant in water treatment plants around the world. Chlorine can provide residual protection for up to three days, which means it also prevents recontamination. AN ESTIMATED 480,000 CHILDREN UNDER THE AGE OF FIVE DIE ANNUALLY FROM PREVENTABLE DISEASES RELATED TO UNSAFE WATER. -- In rural parts of low-income countries, most water sources are untreated, meaning that water is not safe to drink directly from the source. Our uniquely-engineered chlorine dispensers are installed next to commonly-used water sources, enabling people to treat their water using a safe and pre-measured dose of chlorine. The chlorine stays active for 2-3 days, ensuring water doesn’t get recontaminated even when stored at home. Adding diluted chlorine to water is a WHO-endorsed approach to improving water quality. In fact, water systems the world over routinely chlorinate water, making it safe to drink.InstallationInstall chlorine dispensers next to water sources_41796ee0-29ee-11eb-a9f8-fe410383ea001.1DISPENSERS FOR SAFE WATER IS PROVEN IN ITS ABILITY TO ENSURE RURAL COMMUNITIES ADOPT SAFE WATER PRACTICES. HERE’S WHY THEY WORK:HUMAN-CENTRIC DESIGN -- Our bright blue chlorine dispensers are installed right next to water sources – they can’t be missed! Their location enables people to build safe water practices into their routines, and because water is treated during their walk home, there is little-to-no lag time between water treatment and use.CostProvide chlorine for free_41797002-29ee-11eb-a9f8-fe410383ea001.2FREE TO USE -- Research shows that people’s use of preventative health products declines with even the most marginal increases in cost. By providing chlorine for free, we make sure those who need it most don’t have to make difficult trade-offs.Delivery & ServiceEnsure chlorine dispensers are always full and promptly fixed_41797138-29ee-11eb-a9f8-fe410383ea001.3SUSTAINABLE LAST-MILE SERVICE DELIVERY -- A sophisticated maintenance and supply chain ensures chlorine dispensers are always full and promptly fixed as needed. Circuit riders repair dispensers and deliver chlorine to even the most remote locations.Engagement & Buy-InEngage with communities, including local leaders, to secure their buy-in_41797264-29ee-11eb-a9f8-fe410383ea001.4COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIP -- Before we install a dispenser, we engage with communities, including local leaders, to secure their buy-in. Communities also appoint their own “promoter” – a trusted individual who trains and encourages locals to use the dispenser, and lets us know when chlorine refills or dispenser repairs are needed.DewormingDeworm the world_41797386-29ee-11eb-a9f8-fe410383ea002The Deworm the World Initiative envisions a world where all at-risk children have improved health, increased access to education, and better livelihoods potential as a result of being free of intestinal worms. We work in close partnership with governments to enable elimination of intestinal worms as a public health problem.* We advocate for school-based deworming to policymakers, gaining and maintaining critical support amongst stakeholders responsible for children’s health and education.* We provide technical assistance to governments to launch, strengthen, and sustain high quality school-based deworming programs that leverage existing education and health infrastructure.* We employ an evidence-based approach to rigorously evaluate and learn from programs we support, iterating on program design alongside governments to maximize reach in a cost-effective manner.Policy & AdvocacyAdvocate with governments to launch deworming programs_4179750c-29ee-11eb-a9f8-fe410383ea002.1GovernmentsPolicymakersMinistries of HealthMinistries of EducationWe advocate with governments to launch deworming programs, and work collaboratively with ministries of health and education to establish effective policies and governance structures.

To leverage the expertise and experience gained from our flagship programs, we prioritize solutions in the health sector and adjacent sectors including nutrition, water, sanitation, and hygiene. Our process is honed to consider only the most cost-effective interventions.For example, if evaluating a child health solution, we would only consider those that have several studies showing significant improvements to the health of the child—like a decrease in mortality or disability— that can be delivered at a relatively low cost when compared to other solutions. This unique focus has allowed us to identify solutions that could benefit millions of people and deliver an exceptionally high impact per dollar spent. Many of the interventions under consideration have been neglected or underfunded for decades, despite evidence they could save or improve more lives than virtually any other solution in their field.EVIDENCE ACTION ACCELERATOR IS OUR ENGINE FOR NEW PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT. -- The Accelerator selects, optimizes, and scales interventions that can measurably improve the lives of millions of people in the world’s poorest places. Through a rigorous process, interventions are evaluated so that only those with the greatest potential for cost-effective impact are scaled up...Each intervention evaluated by the Accelerator enters a six-stage process of program development. Starting from an evidence-based concept, each intervention has to pass criteria to move to the next stage until they progress to a fully-developed solution that can be replicated in multiple geographies.Evidence & ConsensusReview the evidence and level of consensus supporting the impact and cost-effectiveness of the intervention_41798d62-29ee-11eb-a9f8-fe410383ea003.1Stage 1- Screening -- We rapidly review the amount of high-quality evidence and level of consensus in the research that supports the impact and cost-effectiveness of the intervention.
