How CADRE Works With Institutions
CADRE approaches institutional support as a practical cycle: understand the context, build usable systems, strengthen people and routines, and keep learning from evidence.
Diagnose
Map existing data flows, research capacity, evaluation routines, decision points, and institutional constraints.
Design
Co-create fit-for-context systems, frameworks, indicators, tools, and workflows with the people who will use them.
Build
Support implementation through templates, dashboards, learning sessions, documentation, and practical quality controls.
Learn
Use feedback, monitoring, research, and evaluation findings to improve decisions and adapt interventions over time.
Working Across Evidence Systems
CADRE connects professional recognition with the practical systems institutions need to collect, analyze, learn from, and act on evidence.
