Groundwork: The Busara Behavioral Science Toolkit
ENTREPRENEURSHIPPUBLIC POLICYINTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENTRESEARCH
This toolkit helps researchers and practitioners in development settings apply behavioral science methods end-to-end so they can design, test, and scale interventions in low- and middle-income contexts.
Created by:
Busara Center for Behavioral Economics (2024).
What’s inside:
The toolkit shares Busara’s internal playbook of tools and materials, including the AUDAS framework (Assess, Understand, Design, Act, Scale) covering the entire project lifecycle. It provides templates for qualitative and quantitative research in non-WEIRD contexts, guides to generating and prioritising intervention ideas, instructions for experimental design (e.g. running RCTs or A/B tests in the field), and tips for contextual adaptation and iteration. Essentially, it’s a comprehensive guide with methodologies, checklists, and case applications in global development.
