Fieldwork Execution: We manage data collection, ensuring high quality and adherence to methodology (can leverage our large-scale data collection capabilities if needed).
Data Processing & Rigorous Analysis: Data is cleaned, processed, and analyzed using appropriate statistical techniques and software (Stata, R, Python, Excel) to uncover meaningful patterns and insights.
Reporting & Strategic Recommendations: We deliver findings not just as data points but as actionable insights presented clearly through comprehensive reports, concise presentations, and interactive dashboards (e.g., Power BI). We focus on the "so what?" – providing strategic recommendations based on the evidence.
Reduced Risk: Make strategic decisions based on evidence, not assumptions.
Identified Opportunities: Uncover unmet needs, new market segments, or competitive advantages.
Optimized Strategy: Refine product development, marketing messages, and channel strategies for higher ROI.

National or multi-regional surveys requiring representative samples.
Baseline or endline data collection for large development projects by international organizations such as UN, World Bank, ADB, GIZ, etc.
Extensive Retail Audits covering hundreds or thousands of outlets across multiple cities to track market share, distribution, pricing, and stock levels.
Any research needing robust data collection from hundreds to several thousand respondents from various locations.
Projects where ensuring data reliability and managing complex logistics across diverse regions is paramount.
Logistical Planning: Detailed planning of sampling strategy, geographic coverage, team structure, timelines, and quality control mechanisms.
Team Recruitment & Training: Recruiting, hiring, and providing comprehensive training to field teams (data collectors, supervisors, managers).
Fieldwork Execution: Deploying teams and managing day-to-day field operations with meticulous monitoring and supervision.
Quality Control: Implementing rigorous data quality checks during and after collection (e.g., back-checks, logic checks, image and GPS verification).
Data Delivery: Providing clean, reliable datasets formatted to client specifications.
Reliable & Representative Data: Obtain high-quality data you can trust, even from complex or hard-to-reach populations/locations.
Foundation for Sound Analysis: Provides the solid empirical base needed for credible analysis, policy-making, or strategic planning.
Efficient Execution: Benefit from experienced management that delivers reliable data collection within agreed timelines and budgets.
Reduced Burden: Outsource the complex and resource-intensive task of large-scale fieldwork management to specialists.
MEL goes beyond standard market research to specifically measure the progress, effectiveness, and impact of projects, programs, or initiatives, particularly in the development and social sectors. We design and implement robust MEL frameworks to track performance, assess outcomes, foster learning, and ensure accountability to stakeholders.
Development projects funded by international donors (e.g., UN agencies, World Bank, EBRD, ADB, GIZ) requiring rigorous MEL components.
Non-profit organizations needing to demonstrate the impact and effectiveness of their social programs.
Government agencies implementing policies or programs that require performance tracking and evaluation.
Any organization needing to systematically learn from its interventions to improve future performance (adaptive management).
Projects focused on achieving specific Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Framework Design: Collaborating with stakeholders to develop a clear logic model/theory of change, define key performance indicators (KPIs), and establish data collection plans.
Baseline Study: Collecting initial data before project implementation to establish a starting point for measuring change.
Monitoring: Systematically collecting and analyzing data throughout the project lifecycle to track progress against indicators and identify implementation challenges.
Evaluation (Mid-term/Endline): Conducting periodic or final evaluations to assess the project's relevance, efficiency, effectiveness, impact, and sustainability.
Impact Assessment: Employing appropriate methodologies (quantitative and/or qualitative) to attribute observed changes to the project's interventions.
Reporting & Learning: Communicating findings clearly to stakeholders and facilitating learning sessions to inform adaptive management and future program design.
Demonstrated Impact: Clearly showcase the results and effectiveness of your projects to donors and stakeholders.
Accountability & Transparency: Meet reporting requirements and build trust through evidence-based assessments.
Improved Project Performance: Use data and insights for adaptive management, making adjustments to enhance effectiveness during implementation.
Informed Future Programming: Leverage lessons learned to design more impactful and efficient future projects.
Secured Funding: Strong MEL often strengthens proposals and builds donor confidence for future funding.
