Our pool of consultants has complementary expertise in climate change, migration and refugee studies, peace and conflict resolution, child protection, health, sustainable livelihoods, agriculture, food security, WASH, education, GEDSI research and development evaluation.

Baseline studies

Initial data collection before a project begins to establish starting conditions and benchmarks for future measurement.

Midline evaluations

Assessments conducted partway through a program to measure progress, identify gaps and support timely improvement.

Endline evaluations

Studies conducted at the end of a project to determine outcomes, effectiveness, benefits and lessons learned.

Feasibility studies

Assessments to determine whether a proposed project is practical, viable and likely to succeed.

Environmental and Social Impact Assessments

Systematic identification, prediction and evaluation of potential environmental and social effects before a proposed project is carried out.

Large-scale Surveys

High-quality field data collection through experienced teams and strong protocols.

Large-scale Surveys

We are committed to collecting high quality field data through collaboration of our research operations and robust quality control protocols. Our survey teams combine extensive experience in managing large household surveys with cutting-edge capabilities in data capture.
