There is an art to improving lives. And it’s in our science. Our tagline, "The Science of Improving Lives," underscores our long history of placing evidence and research at the center of our work. At FHI 360, we use research to respond to a wide variety of human development issues, including health, education, economic development and gender equality.
High-quality research generates the evidence that is used to determine which interventions will be most effective. We first study the realities of each situation, including the culture and motivations of the people in any given community. We then create customized, integrated solutions to the human development issues we are addressing. And then we do further research to see if these interventions produce the impact we desire.
FHI 360's research programs have consistently broken new ground. We provide government ministries, international aid organizations, nongovernmental agencies and service providers with the information, tools and technical assistance they need to develop evidence-based policies and high-quality interventions. “The Science of Improving Lives" comes to life when we combine our research findings with our extensive field experience and translate that knowledge into practice.
