The Research, Learning, and Evaluation (RLE) unit at Aahung serves as the evidence and knowledge hub of the organization. Our work ensures that programs are guided by data, learning, and critical reflection, enabling us to design interventions that are relevant, impactful, and responsive to community needs.
The RLE team leads the design and implementation of research studies, monitoring and evaluation systems, and organizational learning processes. We not only assess the effectiveness of programs, but also generate new evidence to inform programmatic decisions, advocacy efforts, and policy engagement. Our objectives are to:
• Produce high-quality research using both qualitative and quantitative methods.
• Ensure that learnings from evaluations directly inform program design and donor proposals.
• Build organizational capacity in monitoring, evaluation, and research.
• Contribute to national and global conversations on sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR), gender justice, and life skills-based education (LSBE).
Through partnerships with donors and collaborators, RLE has successfully managed and implemented diverse research studies, ranging from program impact assessments to mixed-methods studies. Our research has been instrumental in shaping Aahung’s advocacy agenda and strengthening evidence for issues such as safe abortion access, maternal health, menstrual health, and life-skills education.
Over the past years, the RLE unit has transformed into a proactive, strategic department. We have:
• Supported Aahung’s Strategic Plan with evidence-based insights.
• Mentored and trained a growing team of researchers.
• Produced research outputs that have informed national dialogues and advocacy.
The RLE unit continues to build Aahung’s position as a thought leader in SRHR by generating evidence that not only strengthens our own programs but also contributes to broader sectoral change.
