Key Findings

  • Mathematica’s measurement and evaluation (M&E) approach and associated toolkit tailor learning in four phases to fuel evidence-based, innovation.
  • Evidence-based, innovation starts by identifying a need, problem, or challenge in partnership with a community in focus—the community whose goals should drive design. The M&E approach engages this community as collaborators throughout all phases of research and design.
  • Progress is not always linear. The evidence determines when a solution should move to the next phase, stay within a phase and continue development, or return to a prior phase.

Mathematica’s measurement and evaluation (M&E) approach and associated toolkit provide a road map for generating evidence about new or evolving solutions. This overview resource introduces four phases of evidence building and provides an illustrative example of this M&E approach in action.

Efficiency Meets Impact.
That's Progress Together.

To solve their most pressing challenges, organizations turn to Mathematica for deeply integrated expertise. We bring together subject matter and policy experts, data scientists, methodologists, and technologists who work across topics and sectors to help our partners design, improve, and scale evidence-based solutions.
