Rigorous evidence to understand what works, inform investment and strengthen program delivery.
Evaluation is strongest when it starts with the decisions it needs to inform. We use mixed-methods approaches to explore program relevance, coherence, effectiveness, efficiency, impact and sustainability, while keeping conclusions proportionate to the design.
Baseline and endline studies, participatory inquiry and field quality checks help connect patterns in the data with the experiences of the people involved. Learning is translated into prioritised recommendations rather than treated as an appendix to reporting.
What we support
Focused capabilities.
A connected perspective.
Baseline, endline and impact evaluation
OECD DAC evaluation and learning
Our team brings together climate, social research, evaluation and environmental expertise. We select methods to match the question rather than applying a standard package to every context.
How we work
Designed around
the decision.
Clarify the context
We begin by understanding the purpose of the work, existing information, stakeholder needs and the decisions that will use the findings. This shapes a proportionate and locally relevant research design.
Engage inclusively
Participatory methods create space for different community perspectives. Informed consent, gender and social inclusion, and careful handling of participant information are built into the process.
Analyse and validate
Evidence is reviewed across sources, with technical quality checks and discussion of emerging findings. We distinguish observations, interpretations and recommendations, and explain uncertainty.
Communicate for use
Outputs are structured around practical decisions: clear findings, prioritised recommendations and accessible presentations that help stakeholders use the evidence.
