Governance
We work alongside our partners to help identify what works best in governance programming to help them strengthen the effectiveness and impact of their work. Through establishing MEL systems, conducting research, being a learning partner and through various types of evaluation, we help to ensure that decisions that impact lives are informed by learning and evidence.
