The IRC created Evidence Maps to make accessing and interpreting research evidence quicker and easier.

The IRC approach to programmatic decision-making involves bringing together research evidence, including empirical data; practitioner experience; contextual information from the environments in which we operate; and the needs, aspirations, and desires of our clients.

This policy review examines the evidence for interventions proposed as part of the Jordan Compact, and their impact for individuals, labor markets, and local economies.

The IRC is committed to understanding and applying the best available evidence to our programs in order to achieve outcomes for clients affected by conflict and crisis.

In cases where evidence is weak or does not exist, the IRC is committed to generating evidence. Evidence generation strengthens the IRC’s understanding of what works to achieve outcomes in humanitarian settings.

The report documents the experience of adapting and implementing this play-based home visiting intervention in a crisis setting and shares stories of community workers and caregivers participating in the program in Jordan, Syria and Lebanon.  We are now scaling this intervention through our Ahlan Simsim program to reach even more children and caregivers.
