Commitment to Effectiveness Means Dedication to Data
We are committed to the rigorous measurement of our programs. Tracking everything that happens on the ground, our objective is to achieve the greatest impact for the least cost, to bring lasting change to the ultra-poor in the Philippines and beyond.
At ICM, we ask ourselves the hard questions by examining the countable, measurable impact of our work. A combination of pre-post surveys, randomized controlled trials, operational data, and qualitative surveys compound to inform a cycle of continuous innovation and improvement.
In partnership with the Global Innovation Fund
Transform Innovation Lab
In partnership with the Global Innovation Fund, ICM is designing and undertaking an ambitious five-year research project to innovate, scale, and rigorously test new approaches to poverty alleviation. In this way, International Care Ministries can better understand how to provide better and more consistent and scalable outcomes for the ultra-poor communities we serve.
