Programs

  • Health and nutrition

    District
    State

    Biomedical and public health research have indeed provided effective interventions for numerous major diseases. However, in order to enhance health and nutrition outcomes in low-income and marginalized communities, governments and NGOs require a diverse range of context-specific information.
    IDinsight collaborates with its clients to strategically plan and direct investments in health services and systems. This is achieved through a comprehensive understanding of community living conditions, access to services, utilization patterns, and health-related behaviours.
    It also assist the clients in optimizing program effectiveness by identifying and addressing implementation inefficiencies. Furthermore, it aids in quantifying the true impact of the initiatives, accounting for changes that would have occurred independently of the program's intervention.

  • WASH

    Research indicates that communities lacking access to safe water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) are at the greatest risk of experiencing poor health outcomes, increasing their vulnerability to preventable diseases. To address this issue, the organisation collaborates with service providers to refine their programs, identify effective behaviour-change strategies, and enhance market-driven WASH initiatives tailored to their specific contexts.
    IDinsight has an extensive track record in the design and evaluation of programs aimed at promoting WASH-related behaviours. These initiatives encompass a spectrum of interventions, ranging from subtle modifications to the physical environment through behavioural nudges to comprehensive community-wide mobilization efforts.

  • Education and training

    Access to primary and secondary education, along with workforce training, has the potential to break the cycle of poverty and constitutes significant commitments from governments, NGOs, and donors. Realizing substantial returns on investments in education and training necessitates a targeted approach that identifies effective strategies within specific contexts, focusing on enhancing both access and the quality of instruction to drive improvements in learning outcomes and employment opportunities.
    IDinsight possesses extensive expertise in designing and evaluating education and training programs across the public, NGO, and low-cost private sectors, including those leveraging educational technology. It collaborates closely with clients to integrate global evidence and local data into program design and implementation, thereby enhancing learning outcomes.

  • Agriculture

    District
    State

    Enhanced seeds and farming techniques, improved post-harvest practices, robust supply chains, and initiatives to mitigate livestock diseases all hold significant potential to elevate farm productivity, income, and food security. Realizing this potential necessitates the availability of vital insights for the design and execution of agricultural programs by governments and NGOs. IDinsight collaborates with its partners to gain insights into the economic, ecological, and behavioral dynamics of rural communities and households, thereby facilitating the development of effective program strategies.
    The organisation assists its clients in identifying and addressing inefficiencies in implementation, ranging from the training of extension agents to optimizing supply chain connections. The approach involves rigorous impact assessment of interventions, allowing us to estimate net improvements in the adoption of technologies, crop yields, animal health, farmer incomes, and other critical outcomes

  • Environment and energy

    District
    State

    Addressing the interconnected challenges of climate change and energy poverty necessitates collaborative efforts from governments, civil society, and the corporate sector. These efforts should be grounded in the best insights from social, behavioural, and physical sciences, informing their policies and actions.
    IDinsight is actively engaged in a growing array of projects aimed at providing decision support to leaders who grapple with significant questions. These questions revolve around finding ways to protect the environment while simultaneously creating opportunities for marginalized communities, as well as effectively managing and preparing for the repercussions of climate-related disasters.
    The approach involves synthesizing data from various sources and employing diverse methods, ranging from conventional household surveys to innovative applications of satellite imagery.
