About Evidence Action

Evidence Action is a brand that focuses on scaling evidence-based and cost-effective programs to reduce poverty for hundreds of millions of people. They bridge the gap between research and solutions for those in need. Operating in nine countries globally, they positively impact the lives of millions of individuals every year in a measurable way. With a dedication to making a significant, measurable impact, Evidence Action has received recognition from reputable charity evaluators such as Charity Navigator, Guidestar, and GiveWell. Their programs, like Dispensers for Safe Water, aim to address challenges such as unsafe water in poor, rural areas by installing chlorine dispensers near water sources. The Deworm the World Initiative, on the other hand, collaborates with governments to implement national deworming programs for children at risk. Through their Accelerator program, interventions like syphilis screening and treatment, iron and acid supplementation, and in-line chlorination are developed, tested, and implemented. With a commitment to transparency and impact, Evidence Action is a brand that is making a difference in poverty reduction.
