Driving Evidence-Based Solutions for Education, Technology & Social Development
At Impart Foundation, we believe that meaningful change begins with understanding. Our Research Works initiative exists to uncover the real challenges facing youth and women across Africa — and to transform these insights into practical, scalable solutions. The initiative goes beyond academic study; it is a bridge between knowledge and action, ensuring that community voices guide the policies, programs, and innovations shaping their future.
From education gaps and digital barriers to gender inequalities and community development needs, our research team works across diverse communities to collect data, analyze realities, and recommend interventions that create lasting impact.
1. We Provide Reliable Data for Smarter Policies & Programs
Our research equips governments, NGOs, schools, and private institutions with credible, community-grounded data that helps them design better programs and allocate resources where they are needed most.
2. We Help Partners Make Informed Decisions
Through evidence-based insights, we support organizations to move away from assumptions and towards strategic, proven solutions. This ensures development efforts are meaningful, timely, and impactful.
3. We Elevate the Voices of Underserved Communities
Research Works prioritizes youth and women whose voices are often overlooked. By documenting their stories, needs, challenges, and aspirations, we help bring their realities to the forefront of national and regional conversations.
How the Research Works Initiative Operates
Step 1: Identifying Pressing Issues
We start by determining critical challenges in areas such as:
- quality of education
- digital literacy & technology
- gender equality
- youth unemployment
- women’s empowerment
- community well-being
These topics are chosen based on community consultations, partner requests, and national development needs.
Step 2: Conducting Community-Based Research
Our team carries out:
- field research and observations
- surveys and questionnaires
- focus group discussions
- one-on-one interviews
- case studies
We engage directly with students, parents, teachers, youth leaders, women groups, local institutions, and community stakeholders.
Step 3: Publishing Insights & Recommendations
Findings are analyzed and compiled into:
- research reports
- policy briefs
- advocacy documents
- community feedback sessions
- stakeholder dialogues
We ensure our recommendations are actionable, realistic, and tailored to community needs.
Step 4: Transforming Knowledge Into Action
Research does not end on paper. We use the insights to:
- shape our own programs
- advise partners
- influence community-based interventions
- strengthen advocacy for inclusion and development
