Many development practitioners and social entrepreneurs and innovators want to strengthen the evidence focus of their work, but lack the networks or resources to know where to start on that journey. The Evidence Resource Hub will showcase a variety of low- or no-cost resources that practitioners can tap, such as advisory services on results-based funding, syntheses of evidence in the sector in which they work, technology-based tools to better track impact data, and impact evaluation training opportunities geared toward practitioners. The objective is to facilitate awareness of these resources and foster concrete opportunities for collaboration by bringing together resource providers and those in need of them. Over 30 “evidence resource providers” will participate, including, for example: J-PAL, Innovations for Poverty Action, Evidence Action, Causal Design, ideas42, the Progress out of Poverty Index, Global Innovation Fund, Laterite, Vera Solutions, and many more.
