Evidence That Supports Thoughtful Action

At Infosutra, research is a way to listen, learn, and support better decisions. We work with partners to generate evidence that is grounded in context, shaped by lived experience, and useful for practice, policy, and systems change.

Our Research Practice

1. Applied Research & Learning

What we do:

We work closely with partners to explore ideas, test approaches, and understand what works in real-world settings. Our applied research bridges theory and practice—helping translate insights into actions that respond to lived realities.

Why it matters:

  • Supports practical problem-solving rooted in context
  • Encourages innovation that responds to community needs and system constraints

2. Policy-Focused Research

What we do:

We connect evidence with decision-making by examining policies, programs, and systems. Our work helps surface gaps, learn from implementation, and contribute to policy dialogue through accessible insights.

Why it matters:

  • Informs policy conversations with grounded evidence
  • Supports more responsive and inclusive public systems

3. Impact Assessment & Evaluation

What we do:

We work with partners to understand change over time—looking at outcomes, pathways, and unintended effects across programs and policies.

Why it matters:

  • Builds understanding of both short- and long-term change
  • Supports learning for adaptation, scale, and future investment

4. Collaborative Research & Knowledge Sharing

What we do:

We believe research is stronger when it is shared. We facilitate collaboration across institutions, governments, practitioners, and communities to co-create knowledge and reflect together.

Why it matters:

  • Strengthens learning through shared perspectives
  • Builds networks that support long-term change
