Global Insight

Using evidence-based research to answer our most sensitive questions in fragile contexts. Global Insight partners with practitioners, policymakers, and donors to provide empirical research that answers our most perplexing questions, encourages evidence-based decision making, and promotes innovative programs. Global Insight brings together an interd... isciplinary team of scholars and independent researchers to tackle our most politically and culturally sensitive questions in partnership with practitioners. We work across sectors in fragile contexts to produce data-driven, gender-sensitive, multi-methods empirical research. Our work is designed to identify, map, and measure the causal mechanisms at the root of conflict, displacement, and vulnerability. Using rigorous mixed-methods designs, our research examines the social, political, and economic factors driving conflict, displacement, and vulnerability in fragile environments. Pairing empirical approaches that range from experimental to qualitative, we partner with practitioners, donors, and policymakers to measure the impact of programming and build evidence for what works. The Global Insight Institute offers courses and a learning community designed to support those undertaking scientific multi-methods research, analyzing and interpreting data, and applying findings in fragile contexts.Read More
