Dr Anastasia Aladysheva is a Research Affiliate at ISDC and an evaluation and development-effectiveness professional with over 15 years of experience across international development institutions and research organisations. Her expertise spans impact evaluation, multilateral development finance, climate finance, evidence-based decision-making, and quantitative and mixed-methods research.
Her research interests centre on how development interventions translate into tangible outcomes for people, how these results can be credibly measured, and how evidence can inform the design and implementation of development policies and investments.

She also worked as a Research and Methodology Advisor with the International Committee of the Red Cross and as a Senior Researcher at the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI), leading and contributing to research and evaluations on development, particularly in Central Asia.
