Evidence, and the
people who produce it.

Impact evaluation, a working library, and a network of registered Aangus Researchers.

Research capacity is not distributed anything like evenly.

Evaluations and baselines

Studies for organisations that need to know whether something worked.

  • Study design and instrument development
  • Baseline, endline, and comparison groups
  • Collection through the Aangus field network
  • Analysis, reported in the format the funder requires

The Aangus library

Development research, datasets, funder formats, indicator mappings, and regional statistics, in one place and kept current.

  • Open to every registered Aangus Researcher
  • Built from every engagement Aangus runs
  • Free to use

Aangus Researchers.

Economists, analysts, and sector specialists, registered with Aangus. When a project comes in, Aangus assembles a team from the network and sends the invitations.

The library

Research, datasets, and reference material, open to every registered Aangus Researcher.

Open at launch

Project invitations

Work that comes to Aangus from organisations, staffed mostly from the network.

Open at launch

Aangus Chat

A model trained on development data, funder frameworks, and the Aangus corpus.

In training

Some Aangus Researchers join by invitation. Registration is open to anyone with the credentials for the work.

Register before the tools are ready.

The network is being built now. Registering puts you in it, so that when the library opens and the first projects are staffed, you are already there.
