#ExperimentWithEvidential | Every day, programs make small choices about how to reach people: what message to send, when to send it, and how to follow up. 💬

What if you could test those choices quickly, using your own team and data?

Here are two ways to find out what works. 🧵⤵️

@AgencyFund ⚒️ Random assignment, power calculations, and analysis come built in.

🔒 Your data stays on your organization's own systems.

🔬 A traditional RCT
Answers one big question: does this program work?
Takes months of fieldwork, researchers, and enumerators
Needs a large budget

[IDinsight @IDinsight]

In both pilots, we’re learning what works, what needs adjusting, and how these tools fit into the ways teachers and content developers already work.

✍️ Can AI help address the challenges of bilingual education?

To find out, IDinsight is testing two AI pilots with Senegal's Ministry of Education, part of the country's MOHEBS reform.

Here’s what we’re testing 🧵

[IDinsight @IDinsight]

1️⃣ AI for content development: we're testing whether AI can help content developers draft lesson plans faster, with human review still at the centre.

2️⃣ AI for teacher support: a WhatsApp-based assistant gives teachers guidance and helps with vocabulary, translation, and pronunciation in national languages.

🔄 Here's how it turns citizen voices into budget action:

💬 Citizens share feedback on WhatsApp
🤖 AI sorts it into clear themes
📝 Facilitators turn it into budget memos
👀 Everyone can track how government responds

🎤 Tech for Impact session.

👋 See you tomorrow!
