Research & learning

We understand the barriers young people face and use evidence to tackle them.

At Mission 44, we believe in the power of collective action, so we’re identifying what works, sharing it with our networks and driving long-term change.

We commission research to delve deeper into our focus areas and inform decisions on grantmaking and campaigns. Then, with the support of our learning partners, we evaluate the impact of our funded programmes, ensuring we remain accountable to the young people they serve.
