Research, Evaluation & Impact Studies

Since 2009, we have been supporting NGOs, research organizations, and development programs with evidence-based research, evaluation, and impact studies. Our work helps organizations make informed decisions, improve program design, and measure real-world outcomes.

Types of Work / Projects

We conduct a variety of research and evaluation projects, tailored to generate rigorous and actionable evidence:

  • Action Research – Collaborative research with communities to identify and solve problems in real time.

  • Empirical Studies – Systematic data collection and analysis to understand patterns, relationships, and social phenomena.

  • Experimental Studies – Using controlled experiments, including Randomized Controlled Trials (RCTs), to measure causal effects of interventions.

  • Program Evaluation – Assessing the relevance, efficiency, effectiveness, and sustainability of programs.

  • Impact Assessment – Measuring the long-term effects of interventions on target populations.

  • Monitoring & Evaluation (M&E) Studies – Tracking program progress and performance to support adaptive management.

  • Case Studies – Documenting specific examples of successes, challenges, and lessons learned.

How We Do It?

Our projects are implemented using robust and reliable methodologies, including:

  • Feasibility Studies – Assessing the practicality and potential success of proposed programs.

  • Pilot Studies – Testing interventions on a small scale before full implementation.

  • Baseline Surveys – Collecting initial data to understand the starting point of a program or intervention.

  • Midline Surveys – Measuring progress and changes during the implementation phase.

  • Endline Surveys – Collecting final data to evaluate overall impact and outcomes.

  • Household Surveys – Collecting detailed, high-quality data at the household level.

  • Social Research and Applied Studies – Using both qualitative and quantitative approaches to generate actionable insights.

  • Action Research – Collaborating with communities to implement solutions and refine approaches.

  • Impact Studies – Measuring the real-world effects and long-term outcomes of interventions.
