Members
3ie members include government agencies from low- and-middle income countries (L&MICs), multilateral agencies, and public and private donors. Together, they form a diverse global community united by a commitment to using rigorous evidence to improve their policies and programs.
How we work
The membership program prioritizes our strategic objective of becoming an evidence partner and supporting governmental agencies in their commitment to institutionalizing evidence-informed decision-making. 3ie does this through the global public goods offered to our members, including the Development Evidence Portal and the WACIE Helpdesk.
In addition, the program supports match-making efforts for L&MIC government agencies, which identify funding gaps for impact evaluations or other rigorous evidence needs. When our L&MIC government members inform us of those needs, we make our best effort to reach out to funders with whom we have a relationship and who have an interest in supporting the kind of work that needs funding. Recognizing that funding can be a major barrier to the commitment to institutionalize evidence, we hope this benefit can assist in closing the gap.
The 3ie membership program allows members to:
Participate in 3ie’s community of practice for evidence-informed decision-making. We provide opportunities for participants to share their experiences producing and using evidence to inform decision-making, discuss their membership priorities and contribute to the 3ie agenda. We also organize peer-learning events with member governments and other development agencies.
Promote their work through 3ie’s network. 3ie advertises events, jobs and members’ calls for funding through our website and monthly newsletter. We support our community of practice through evaluation advocacy efforts and provide members with opportunities to leverage our network to promote impact evaluations, systematic reviews, evidence mapping, and building national M&E systems.
Get preferred access to 3ie’s services. Members have preferred access to 3ie’s fee-based services. This allows them to tailor their collaboration with us to their own strategic priorities. We offer a variety of evaluation, synthesis and mapping services, capacity strengthening workshops, among others. Visit our services page for examples and further details.
Contribute to the development of global public goods. In addition to supporting our work with L&MIC governments and NGO members, members of 3ie provide invaluable support to 3ie’s work on global public goods, like our Development Evidence Portal. The projects supported by this fund cover a range of objectives that bolster 3ie’s commitment to generating global public goods and strengthening the global evidence architecture.
