Program areas at Evidence Action

Nutrition: the nutrition program leads the work for Evidence Action's deworm the world and iron and folic acid supplementation programs.deworm the world initiative is an incredibly high impact program, helping to deliver over 1.4 billion treatments to children for intestinal worms since 2014. Deworm the world initiative provides technical assistance to governments to implement high quality, cost effective, and sustainable programming. Regular deworming results in improved education, health, and long-term well-being for treated children.in 2019 Evidence Action launched a technical assistance program to support the delivery of iron and folic acid (ifa) supplementation for children and adolescents 6 months - 19 years of age in india. The program is being implemented across five states in india with a robust external evaluation design to measure changes in coverage.
Maternal neonatal and child health: the maternal syphilis program is a technical assistance program providing comprehensive support to governments to scale hiv/syphilis dual testing and strengthen syphilis treatment provision, with focus in five core areas: (1) strengthening policy, program management, and coordination, (2) enhancing supply chain management, (3) strengthening data collection and monitoring, (4) supporting healthcare provider training and supervision, and (5) identifying and securing sustainable funding.
Safe water: Evidence Action's safe water program utilizes proven, innovative, and low-cost approaches to provide sustained safe water access at source to more than 9 million people in rural africa, preventing childhood illness and deaths. Our dispensers for safe water help rural communities install chlorine dispensers to allow users to add exactly the right dose of diluted chlorine to their water buckets, while in-line chlorination automatically treats communal piped water systems.
New program development: Evidence Action's accelerator drives new program development, selecting high-potential interventions with massive opportunity for evidence-based, cost effective impact. The accelerator tests and refines delivery models with the goal of rapidly scaling interventions with levels of impact similar to our existing programs. Promising new programs are advanced through a rigorous, 6 stage process - from desk research to testing at scale.
