Evidence for Development's aim is to improve the impact and accountability of interventions and to achieve better returns on global development investments. We believe all donors, be they governments, charitable organizations, foundations or individuals deserve a clear measure of return on investment for the $108 billion they spend annually. To truly impact the lives of people in developing countries, these investments must be better planned, properly implemented and measured with the same precision and level of detail as other investments.

By supporting EvD, you will ensure

• More effective use of resources to reach a greater number of beneficiaries over time.
• Greater accountability and better strategic decision making by funders. The results will be better returns on all types of non-profit investments, including grants, loans and charitable donations.
• That leading edge modeling tools will become industry standard and be required by policy makers, donors, and non government organisations working at project level (i) to detail, with precision, the variables that will minimise waste, (ii) to create effective outcomes and (iii) to allow donors to assess the returns on investmentof specific interventions and programmes.
