What we do
We specialise in three core areas of evaluation and advisory work for international development institutions.
Strategy and Policy Evaluations
We assess the relevance, coherence, effectiveness, efficiency, impact and sustainability of development strategies and policies at the institutional and corporate level. Our clients include multilateral development banks commissioning evaluations of their overarching strategic frameworks, sector policies, and financing instruments.
Programme and Project Evaluations
We conduct mid-term, final and summative evaluations of complex development programmes and projects, covering a wide range of sectors and geographies. Our evaluations follow OECD DAC standards and draw on mixed-methods approaches tailored to each assignment.
Results Measurement and Monitoring Support
We support clients in strengthening the quality of their results frameworks, monitoring systems, and data reporting. This includes the design of indicators and results chains, quality review of project logframes, and technical support to reporting processes.
