Global Alliance: Focus and paramaters for long term compelling evidence work

Focus

WHY?

A major priority for the Global Alliance for Social and Behaviour Change - building informed and engaged societies is EVIDENCE and IMPACT - is to identify, analyse, draw strategic conclusions and communicate the compelling data based argument for the effectiveness of our common field of work.

The small sub-group of the Evidence and Impact Cluster (Susan K, Doug S, Doug E, Debora, Urvashi and Warren) commencing work on this priority agreed that some boundaries/parameters/clear orientation for this work needed to be established. The work on this was completed, reviewed and approved by the full Evidence and Impact Cluster at its meeting on June 20th, 2018. There was further agreement that a survey outlining the options for these parameters and boundaries be sent to all participating organisations in the Alliance for their input.

The survey that follows is for your completion. The deadline is July 6th 2018. When answering please do keep to the numbers stated.

With many thanks. This will be of tremendous help in advancing the Evidence and Impact cluster work programme.
