When a national programme trains 7,047 doctors across 200 workshops, how do you know if it actually worked in real world settings?
Our team at GRID Council evaluated the Indian Academy Of Pediatrics NURTURE initiative to train paediatricians in Nurturing Care for Early Childhood Development. We used a triphasic mixed-methods design combining the RE-AIM and Moore's Frameworks. The results of this study were published in BMJ Paediatrics Open in March 2026 (Mukherjee SB, et al).
In this video, Dr Archisman Mohapatra (GRID Council) walks through:
→ Why standard pre/post evaluations fall short for complex programmes
→ How the triphasic mixed-methods design works and why the phases matter
→ What data integration actually looks like in practice
→ What we found including both what worked and what needs to improve
→ Why the method has to match the question
This is the kind of evaluation rigour that complex development programmes deserve whether in health, education, livelihoods, or governance.
