Evaluation
- We design process and impact evaluations.
- We lead baselines, mid-term reviews, and end-of-project evaluations.
- We develop M&E frameworks, plans and log-frames – including data capture and management systems – ensuring they fit the context in which they will be implemented.
- We are well-versed at both qualitative and quantitative methods.
- We use a wide range of creative techniques to gather data such as maps (body, risk analysis, spider), timelines, rankings, drawings, photos, and direct observations, as well as classic methods, such as household and individual surveys, interviews, and focus groups.
- Our end products can be shared with your non-expert audiences as they easily accessible and use approachable language.
- Our evidence-based findings and strategic recommendations are actionable, and help your organisation to evolve and deliver better outcomes.
- We are able to tailor evaluation methods and tools to your needs and budget.
Research
- Our methodological flexibility allows us to respond to broad sets of questions and approach complex social processes in a strategic and effective manner.
- We ensure that the research design and data collection tools are developed based on clearly defined needs, and the subsequent analysis and reporting is meaningful for the target audience.
- We develop qualitative and quantitative research designs that are aligned to your needs.
- We lead field and community-based research in every context where you work, including remote communities, with children, youth, immigrants, indigenous groups and farmers.
- We know how to communicate effectively with a variety of audiences and stakeholders, facilitating your communication with both your clients and donors.

Project design
- We focus on understanding our clients’ (children, communities and organisations) needs and challenges.
- We work in partnership with you to identify effective solution paths to designing projects that are tailored to your needs and budgets.
- We develop strong research designs, using simple and meaningful theory of change and logframes, and design effective M&E plans.
- We develop clear, measurable indicators for outcomes and outputs that can be obtained within project budgets.
Training
- We are passionate about sharing our evaluation and research expertise with your staff and partners.
- Through training we maximise the impact of your evaluation to improve program implementation and design.
