IMA uses mixed methods of research including qualitative and quantitative approaches for data collection using a 360-degree perspective gathering insights from all direct and indirect stakeholders associated with the social program. Sattva's IMA has carried out 85 evaluations in thematic areas such as agriculture and allied activities, education and livelihood, skill development and entrepreneurship, water and sanitation, women empowerment, and natural resource management.
