Our approach
Global Insight brings together an interdisciplinary 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.
Research
Using rigorous mixed-methods designs, our research examines the social, political, and economic factors driving conflict, displacement, and vulnerability in fragile environments.
Evaluation
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”.
Institute
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.
