IDEAS aims to improve the health and survival of mothers and babies through generating evidence to inform policy and practice.  Working in Ethiopia, North-Eastern Nigeria and the state of Uttar Pradesh in India, IDEAS uses measurement, learning and evaluation to find out what works, why and how in maternal and newborn health programmes.

The leaflet gives more information on our research, learning questions and evaluation methods.
