Our Vision

Improving lives through evidence-driven development outcomes — advanced by the next generation of tools for measuring and managing results.

Our Mission

To increase development effectiveness — and advance Sustainable, Inclusive Green Growth in developing countries — by producing and applying the most credible evidence from impact evaluations of projects, programs, and policies, and by building the tools that make that evidence faster to generate, easier to use, and stronger for policy and program design.

At the heart of our mission is improving lives in developing — and some developed — countries by strengthening the following impact evaluation systems, and the tools behind them:

- **Systematic Reviews** — the production, use, and dissemination of evidence on what works, when, why, and at what cost

- **Performance Evaluation** of projects, programs, and policies

- **Environmental and Social Impact Assessment / Environmental and Social Safeguards**

- **Gender Transformative Tool (GTT)** — a results-measurement approach for embedding gender-transformative outcomes into project and program evaluation

- **Scalability and Replicability Analysis Tool (SRAT)** — assessing which interventions can be scaled or replicated, and under what conditions

- **Development of Evidence Tools** — designing and applying results-measurement frameworks, ICT-enabled monitoring and evaluation methods, and analytical models, to make credible evidence easier to produce and use

GIDE also enhances the national capacity of policymakers, practitioners, researchers, and civil society organizations to assume ownership of impact evaluation.
