Research, Surveys, M&E and Evaluation

We design and run the studies national programmes depend on: baseline surveys, end term evaluations, independent third party monitoring and beneficiary assessments, managing the full evidence chain from sampling frame to final report.

What we deliver

Evidence that survives scrutiny.

Our studies are built to be defended: to steering committees, to development partners and to auditors, years after fieldwork closes.

  • Baseline and end term evaluations with defensible sampling and clean instruments
  • M&E systems and indicator frameworks that programme staff can actually maintain
  • Independent third party monitoring with geo tagged, time stamped field verification
  • Beneficiary satisfaction and outcome studies that reach remote and insecure areas
  • Enumerator networks fluent in local languages across Kenya and Somalia
