Intro
Innovation, Research and Evaluation Unit
Inspiration • Reflection • Evidence
At Micah Projects we believe that we should always be looking to improve the efficacy of our work. The Innovation, Research and Evaluation Unit was established to pilot new practice, reflect on current practice and find the evidence that should always inform our work in the community. The Unit works across all Micah Projects Service Areas.
