FieldCases (Case Library)
What Is FieldCases?
FieldCases is ImpactMojo's free, searchable library of 200 cited development case studies from 117 countries. Every case is grounded in published research — no anecdotal stories or unverified claims.
The library covers financial inclusion, health, education, governance, livelihoods, climate, gender, and more — organised by topic, region, and methodology so you can find exactly the cases you need for teaching, proposals, or programme design.

Every claim is cited — case studies reference published research, not opinion
Searchable by topic, region, and keyword — find cases relevant to your specific programme area
Practitioner-oriented summaries — cases are written for programme designers and trainers, not academic audiences
200 cases across 117 countries — broad enough to find relevant parallels for almost any development context
How Educators Can Use FieldCases
For Teaching
Use cases as discussion material in workshops and courses. Instead of hypothetical scenarios, participants analyse real programmes with documented outcomes.
Example: Teaching cost-effectiveness? Pull cases comparing two health interventions in similar contexts and have participants evaluate which delivered more impact per dollar.
For Proposal Writing
When writing proposals, cite relevant cases to demonstrate that your approach has evidence. FieldCases makes it easy to find documented examples of similar interventions in similar contexts.
For Programme Design
Before designing a new programme, search FieldCases for what's already been tried in your sector and region. Learning from others' successes and failures saves time and improves design.
As Assignment Material
Assign students or participants a case study to analyse using a specific framework (ToC, GESI audit, cost-effectiveness). The documented evidence base makes these exercises rigorous.
Tips
Filter by region first if you need context-specific examples — a case from Bihar is more persuasive than one from Bolivia when designing a programme in Odisha.
Check the methodology — if you're teaching RCTs, filter for experimental studies; if you're teaching adaptive management, look for mixed-methods evaluations.
Combine with Live Case Challenges — FieldCases provides background evidence; Challenges provide structured application exercises.
