Our Approach

Through an in-depth analysis of complex social, political, and economic dynamics, MHIGG designs innovative approaches and theories of change to advance creative solutions.  We engage a wide range of actors, including the marginalized and vulnerable, recognizing that the prospects for achieving tangible results are improved when competing or conflicting interests are considered.

To achieve positive change, new approaches are required, ones that seek unexpected outcomes, and allow for adaptation and iteration. We apply these approaches to address the complexity and volatility inherent in change.

We are dedicated to using evidence-based analysis to inform, adapt, and adjust our program design, implementation, and performance.
