Reaching millions with the world’s most effective health interventions.
Über uns
Global impact starts with asking the right questions: How far can a dollar go to improve a person’s health? How can we learn if our strategies are working? How can we ensure that they will continue to work? At Evidence Action, we leverage rigorous research and iterate constantly to scale low-cost health interventions at life’s most critical stages, including pregnancy, infancy, childhood, and adolescence. We always follow the data to ensure maximum value for every dollar and maximum impact for every individual. Our programs have reached over 515 million people by pairing proven interventions with creative new implementation models tailored to local contexts. As we mark our 10-year anniversary, we reaffirm our commitment to expanding access, improving cost-effectiveness, and utilizing evidence to inform every decision.

Government ownership and leadership in health and education programs are essential for protecting children's health and unlocking their full potential. In a recent meeting with Dr. Hamid Bobboyi, Executive Secretary of Nigeria's Universal Basic Education Commission, we discussed the collaborative impact of our deworming program. By investing in school-based deworming to reach millions of children, we significantly reduce school absenteeism, foster healthy development, and contribute to Nigeria's economic growth.
