Baseline Institute is an independent, non-profit research organisation in The Gambia. We produce evidence, publish it openly, build the tools to work with it, and teach others to do the same.

We work in The Gambia and across Africa. Our protocols, datasets, analysis code and tools are public.

The Institute

A non-profit, evidence-first organisation

We preregister our protocols, publish our data under open licences, and publish results whether or not they show what we expected. Where the evidence supports a recommendation, we publish it with the finding it rests on.

How we work

For funders and partners

What your money buys, stated in units

Funding is reported annually by source and amount. Every funded output carries its cost and its licence. We take no funding that restricts publication.
