Every study is different, so there is no such thing as a standard QuIP output. However, we do have some examples of how the approach has been used in different contexts and how the findings are presented. The pool of reports we can share publicly is somewhat limited, but some studies have been published which means we can share them here.
A full list of our studies may help give you an idea of how QuIP can be used, and these are also split by sector below:
- Rural livelihoods (agriculture)
- Market development
- Microfinance, savings and social cash transfers
- Education
- Health, nutrition, water and sanitation
- Gender relations and sexual & reproductive health
- Work, community mobilisation and third sector organisations
We also have a selection of case studies which cover a range of countries and contexts.
