Research, Evaluation & Impact

Programme evaluations, baseline studies and evidence-based reporting that hold up to donor scrutiny.

We have led end-term evaluations, baseline and endline surveys, and after-action reviews across humanitarian and development programmes in East Africa and beyond. This is exacting work — donor reporting standards do not forgive vague methodology or unverifiable claims. We bring the same rigour to evaluation that we bring to system design: clear methodology, honest findings, and recommendations grounded in what the data actually shows.

How We Approach This
01

Methodology decided before data collection, not after

We define the evaluation framework, sampling approach and indicators upfront, so findings are defensible and comparable — not reverse-engineered from whatever data happened to be easiest to collect.

02

We report what we find, not what is convenient

An evaluation that only confirms what a programme already believed about itself has limited value. Our reports are built to be genuinely useful for programme improvement, even when the findings are uncomfortable.

03

Built for donor and institutional standards

Having worked directly within UN and international NGO reporting structures, we understand what standard of evidence and documentation these evaluations are actually held to.

What We Deliver

  • Baseline, midline and endline survey design and delivery
  • End-term and after-action evaluations
  • Data quality assessments with donor-ready documentation
  • Mixed-methods research design (quantitative and qualitative)
  • Evidence-based recommendations for programme adaptation

Who This Is For

Programmes approaching a donor reporting milestone, or organisations that need an honest, methodologically sound external evaluation rather than a rubber stamp.
