Our services Include:

Quantitative and Qualitative Research

We provide comprehensive quantitative, qualitative, and mixed-method research services that generate credible, actionable evidence for informed decision-making, policy formulation, program design, monitoring, evaluation, and strategic planning.

Quantitative Research

We generate precise insights through survey data, secondary datasets, and econometric analysis to measure trends, outcomes, and impact.

Qualitative Research

We uncover deeper insights into experiences, behaviours, and perceptions through interviews, focus groups, and participatory methods.

Mixed-method Research

We bring together quantitative and qualitative methods to measure outcomes, understand experiences, and uncover the drivers of change.

Our research is grounded in internationally recognized methodologies and tailored to the specific needs of governments, development partners, NGOs, and private sector organizations.
By integrating rigorous scientific methods with innovative digital data collection technologies, we deliver reliable insights that help clients understand complex challenges, measure results, identify opportunities, and drive sustainable development.

Project and Program Evaluations

We provide comprehensive project and programme evaluation services that help governments, development partners, NGOs, and private sector organizations understand what works, why it works, and how interventions can be improved. Through rigorous quantitative, qualitative, and mixed-methods approaches, we generate credible evidence on programme relevance, effectiveness, efficiency, sustainability, and impact.

Baseline survey

Establishes the starting point of a project or program, providing a benchmark for measuring progress, outcomes, and overall impact throughout its implementation.

We conduct reliable baseline surveys to generate essential data on the current situation, helping organizations design effective interventions, track progress, and measure results against a clear starting point.

Midline survey

Assesses project progress against set targets and indicators to identify achievements, challenges, and areas for improvement

We compare midline findings with baseline benchmarks to measure change, assess project performance, and provide insights to strengthen implementation and achieve intended results.

Endline survey

Assesses the extent to which project objectives have been achieved, measures outcomes against baseline benchmarks and targets, documents lessons learned, and evaluates the sustainability of results beyond project completion.

Using the OECD DAC evaluation criteria, we support clients in assessing project results, measuring the achievement of intended outcomes, understanding what worked and why, and translating evidence into strategies for sustainable impact and future programming.

Impact Evaluation

Measures the long-term effects and changes generated by a project or program, assessing its contribution to improved outcomes, sustained benefits, and evidence-based decision-making for future investments.

We measure the causal effects of interventions using rigorous methods such as RCTs, Difference-in-Differences, and comparative statistical approaches to determine what changes can be attributed to the program.

Needs Assessment

Identifies the needs, challenges, and priorities of target populations or stakeholders to inform the design of relevant, effective, and context-responsive interventions.

We help clients conduct comprehensive needs assessments using qualitative and quantitative approaches to gather reliable evidence, identify priority gaps, and develop strategies that align interventions with actual needs and local contexts.

Mapping studies

Identifies key stakeholders, existing resources, gaps, and opportunities within a specific sector or geographic area to support informed planning and strategic decision-making.

We map stakeholders, services, capacities, and gaps to generate actionable insights that help organizations coordinate efforts, optimize resources, and design more effective interventions.

Knowledge, Attitudes, and Practices (KAP) surveys

Assessing knowledge, attitudes, and practices to generate insights for effective programme design and behaviour change.

We conduct KAP studies to understand people’s level of knowledge, perceptions, beliefs, and behaviours related to specific issues or interventions. Our assessments identify awareness gaps, behavioural drivers, and barriers to change, providing evidence to inform programme design, communication strategies, and targeted interventions.

Gender Equality and Social Inclusion (GESI) studies

Assessing gender equality and social inclusion to design equitable, inclusive, and evidence-based programmes.

We help organizations in designing inclusive interventions by analyzing gender relations, power dynamics, vulnerability, and access barriers. We provide evidence and recommendations to strengthen accountability, programme effectiveness, and sustainable impact.

Data Analytics and Visualization

We support organizations to transform raw data into clear, meaningful insights that inform decision-making, strategy development, and performance improvement. Our team provides standalone data analysis and visualization services for surveys, research studies, monitoring systems, and organizational datasets.

Our services include:

Data cleaning, validation, and preparation for analysis.
Quantitative and qualitative data analysis using appropriate analytical methods.
Statistical analysis to identify trends, patterns, relationships, and key drivers of change.
Development of interactive dashboards, charts, maps, and data visualizations.
Preparation of analytical reports, policy briefs, presentations, and executive summaries.
Interpretation of findings and evidence-based recommendations for decision-making.

Analytical Tools

We leverage industry-leading analytical tools, including:

Statistical Analysis: SPSS, Stata, R, Python
Qualitative Analysis: NVivo, ATLAS.ti

Data Collection & Fieldwork Management

Large Scale Surveys

We conduct large-scale surveys using scientifically rigorous methodologies, experienced field teams, and advanced digital technologies to generate accurate and reliable evidence that informs policy, strengthens programme evaluation, and supports strategic decision-making.

We use KoboToolbox for digital data collection, leveraging features such as skip logic, data validation, customized forms, and offline data capture to ensure accurate, efficient, and high-quality data collection.

Key Capabilities Include:

National, Regional, and Multi-site Surveys
Large-Scale Household Surveys
Field Team Management, Supervision, and Back-Checking
Enumerator Recruitment, Training, and Deployment
Digital Data Collection and Real-Time Monitoring
Data Quality Assurance, Validation, and Management

Qualitative data collection

We collect qualitative data through interviews, focus group discussions, and observations to explore experiences, perspectives, behaviors, and social contexts, generating deeper insights into complex issues.

Online Survey

We design and implement secure, reliable, and user-friendly online survey solutions for collecting high-quality data, especially when face-to-face data collection is impractical. Our digital data collection methods include KoboToolbox, Google Forms, telephone-administered surveys (CATI), and virtual interviews through Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Skype, and other online platforms.

Specialized Data Collection Methods

We use specialized data collection methods, including direct observations, GPS mapping, participatory approaches, and community scorecards, to generate rich, context-specific evidence. These methods provide deeper insights into behaviours, spatial patterns, institutional dynamics, and programme performance than traditional surveys alone.
