Jigsaw exists to build rigorous evidence for lasting change in education. We engage in applied research, evaluation, strategy and technical assistance. 

Our work focuses on high-impact areas which can strengthen quality education in low- and middle-income countries. This includes specific technical focus on: education technology; education in emergencies and protracted crises; education, climate and environment; and education for girls.

Our values

We focus on the end game - this means you can expect us to focus on things like contextualisation, sustainability and scalability.

We play to our strengths - this means we only say yes to a few things, invest in building our technical expertise, and aim to be exceptional at what we do. 

We ask important questions - life is too short to go with the flow, so we challenge ourselves and those we work with to think critically and constructively about big problems. 

We treat people with dignity - power dynamics are real, respect is important, and our values are lived out through every interaction we have with each other and our research participants. 

We are committed to learning - we do this collaboratively and rigorously, we believe in understanding complex systems, validating our assumptions and applying lean and adaptive principles to all our work.

We prioritise local contexts - and believe that our work is most effective when communities are centrally involved in decision-making. 

We listen deeply - everyone has a story and this matters, so we prioritise participatory and child-friendly methods and build strong relationships with local research organisations. 

We believe change is possible - but making it happen is complex and takes a long time, so we focus our energy on ensuring our work gets read, listened to, and has a positive impact on decision-making.

Our work

Our work is about building evidence that both strengthens and disrupts the education sector. We focus on areas of the sector which we believe to have the highest potential to improve education for those most in need. 

The majority of our current engagements focus on the following four areas: education technology; education in emergencies and protracted crises; education, climate and environment; and education for girls – although these are often overlapping and interconnected with a range of other critical issues. We embrace the complexity of education by wrestling with these intersections. This is where our work has the greatest impact.

On our website you can read more about why we focus on these things, our case studies, and the organisations we work with.
