Our services

Research

We are committed to meeting the unique needs of vulnerable communities through our locally led feminist approaches and culturally responsive methods. Our research services explore complex humanitarian topics, such as the dignity of displaced persons and the importance of local leadership and the role of local communities in humanitarian response. We provide comprehensive needs assessments, impact evaluations, baseline studies, gender analyses, participatory action research, conflict analyses, and rapid assessments to empower organizations to design and implement more relevant and effective development and humanitarian programs. By providing evidence-based insights, we ensure that the needs and priorities of communities are heard and addressed, and we engage them in the research process to promote their active participation in decision-making.

Evaluation

We provide comprehensive evaluation services to measure the impact of humanitarian programs. Our approach is tailored to the specific needs of each organization and includes a range of qualitative and quantitative methods to assess program effectiveness, efficiency, and relevance. We also provide organisation evaluation capacity and capability maturity asssessemnts. Our evaluations are designed to provide evidence-based insights that enable organizations to make informed decisions about program design and implementation, and to optimize the impact of their interventions. We work closely with our clients to ensure that our evaluations are culturally responsive and feminist-led, and that the voices and perspectives of the communities they serve are fully represented. Whether we do a baseline study, impact evaluation, or a rapid assessment, we use intersectional approaches, lived experience and our southern capacity to evaluate program and achieve goals.

Third-Party Monitoring

We understand the challenges of monitoring and evaluating humanitarian programs in hard-to-reach areas and conflict zones. That's why we offer Third-Party Monitoring services that provide real-time information through our network of researchers embedded in local communities in key conflict zones. Our approach allows us to gather accurate and timely data, even in areas where access is limited. We work closely with our clients to design monitoring plans that are tailored to their specific needs, providing regular updates and insights to help them make informed decisions and adjust their programs as needed. With our Third-Party Monitoring services, organizations can have confidence that their programs are being implemented as intended and are making a real impact on the ground.

Education and Evaluation Capacity Development

We recognize the critical importance of education and evaluation capacity development to promote evidence-based decision-making and improve the effectiveness of development and humanitarian programs. Our education and evaluation capacity development services include training and mentorship programs to build the skills and knowledge of individuals and organizations in research, evaluation, and data analysis. We tailor our training programs to the unique needs and contexts of our clients, with a focus on locally led, feminist, and culturally responsive approaches. By investing in education and evaluation capacity development, we support sustainable, long-term improvements in program effectiveness and promote the use of evidence to inform decision-making.
