Our topics
Our work focuses on urgent and complex challenges that must be addressed for a more equitable, sustainable and secure world.
Climate, environment & natural resources
We partner with organisations leading efforts on climate mitigation, protecting biodiversity, and advancing sustainable agriculture.
Conflict, peace & security
Through our monitoring, evaluation and learning services, we help organisations make evidence-informed decisions that improve the lives of people experiencing the effects of conflict and instability worldwide.
Diplomacy, advocacy influencing
We have refined an approach to evaluating diplomacy, policy and influencing efforts that provides our partners with compelling, evidence-based learnings of their contribution to change.
Economic growth & private sector development
We help organisations through evidence, insights and learning that strengthens trade initiatives, advances enterprise development, and expands financial inclusion.
Education & skills development
We support organisations to strengthen education and skills systems so that learners of all ages gain the knowledge and capabilities they need to thrive in work and life.
Food security & nutrition
We help understand what works and why in addressing the complex causes of food insecurity and malnutrition across food, agriculture, social, living, and health environments and within cultural, policy and economic contexts.
Gender equality & social inclusion
We help organisations embed gender sensitivity and social inclusion across their strategies and programmes through our evaluations, analysis of power and exclusion, and by generating evidence that supports more equitable outcomes.
Governance, human rights & anti-corruption
Effective institutions, accountability and rights-based approaches are vital for sustainable development. We work alongside our partners to help identify what works best to help them strengthen the effectiveness and impact of their work.
Health & health security
We provide evidence, insights and learning on what works, why and for who, to help strengthen global health, health systems, pandemic preparedness and more.
Humanitarian response
With humanitarian need escalating in ever more complex and protracted crises, Itad generates robust evidence to strengthen crisis response, guide disaster risk reduction efforts, and support more effective decision-making across the humanitarian-development nexus.
Migration and displacement
We are at the forefront of evaluation within the field of migration and displacement, offering a cross-cutting, holistic lens to monitor and evaluate what works, where, and why, with a particular focus on protection and the rights of refugees and migrants.
Research & innovation
Research and innovation can drive effective, scalable solutions to complex social and environmental challenges worldwide. We offer flexible, collaborative support tailored for organisations who want to maximise the impact of their activities in this area.
Sustainable development & Global Goals
Our work supports sustainable development and the Global Goals by generating rigorous evidence and insights that help organisations design, deliver, and scale interventions that drive long-term, equitable impact.
Water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH)
Safe water, sanitation and hygiene are fundamental to health and dignity. We help partners build sustainable WASH systems by generating evidence and strengthening strategies, monitoring and data for continuous learning and improvement.
