​​​Dr. Anne Bernard brings a practical, field-based approach to the use of qualitative data in evaluation practice, and in project, programme and sectoral planning. She has worked for 30 years on the design and implementation of programme and project evaluations throughout the world.

Anne Bernard's evaluations include multiple studies on child-friendly school projects and on networks (HIV/AIDS, tobacco control research, malaria research); on institutional and social change related to issues such as iodine deficiency, safe motherhood and the status of the family; on tsunami education reconstruction, competitive grants mechanisms and the informal transmission of knowledge (for the Jomtien World Conference on Education for All). 

She played an early role in the development of Nonformal Education and inclusion policies in Cambodia's National EFA Plan, and coauthored a UNESCO handbook on qualitative research methods for gender focal points in Asia. ​

Among Anne Bernard's work:

• One of the earliest systematic conceptualizations of “child-friendly schools” (in collaboration with UNICEF, between 1999-2003); 
• Studies and programme evaluations on children who are excluded, 
  
• Meta-evaluation of projects promoting girls' access to and completion of education; 
  
• Education team leader for impact evaluations of post-tsunami education programmes in Thailand, Sri Lanka, the Maldives, and Indonesia;
  
• Studies on how research and education networks function,  
  
• Development of a research capacity evaluation framework,  
  
• Studies on how adult learning affects capacity development strategies, assessment of competitive grants processes, and assessment of how a graduate school institutional development process is an example of the risks, potential and learning processes involved in complex institutional change. 
  
• Multiple evaluations and situation analyses on development projects in Afghanistan, and other countries for bilateral and multilateral agencies.
  

A wide range of Anne Bernard's other work on network building, evaluation processes and capacity assessmentcan be found at the IDRC digital library.
