WHAT WE DO
We have a large client-base including international NGOs, national NGOs, national governments, regional organizations, civil associations, global movements, bilateral and multilateral donors, private corporations, social enterprises, entrepreneurs and philanthropies. We deliver results in the contexts of global development ranging from the spectrum of relatively stable societies to challenging humanitarian situations and emergencies.
Baseline, Midterm and Endline Survey
Survey Research has been integral to our work since coming into existence. Our multidisciplinary and multicultural teams of experts have played a leading role in meeting the needs of our clients in all aspects of survey science. We employ proven methods and best practices in the survey research industry, paying detailed attention to time and cost efficiency, quality, and technological innovation. Our survey tools and methods are flexible and adaptive to peculiar environments, circumstances and behavioral differences. This often requires mixed methodologies and survey designs, and savvy mobile technology solutions.
We attach public visibility to the results of our surveys. Our work touches on all aspects of the human life, including but not limited to health, social, economic, political and environmental issues. Our survey results form the basis for informed policy and programs decisions to address critical social problems in line with the needs of both privileged and under-served populations.
Monitoring, Evaluation, Accountability and Learning (MEAL)
With focus on the five phases of MEAL (data cycle) from logic models design to data use, we support evidence-based decision-making ensuring that quality and accurate data and information are translated into useful knowledge, sound decisions and meaningful actions.
Leveraging on our institutional strengths in the development and management of data science, surveys, and technology, we design standard tools that align monitoring, evaluation, learning and accountability with project/program calendar, budget and staffing requirements. The evidence we generate is used to guide project/program performance, assess the progress, value, merit, or quality of projects’ design, implementation and results, with the commitment to respond to, and balance the needs of all project stakeholders, including project participants, donors, partners and the organization itself, in the activities of the project, and at the same time enabling intentional reflection for smarter decision-making.
Our monitoring and evaluation systems enhance accountability and learning through transparent sharing of monitoring and evaluation information, compliance with agreed donor requirements and best practices, responsiveness to stakeholder inputs (feedback, ideas, suggestions, and complaints), encouraging varying degrees of contributions from different types of stakeholders in initiating, defining the parameters for, and conducting MEAL, and engaging stakeholders in thoughtful discussion of what has worked and what hasn’t worked in project efforts to achieve the stated objectives through conversations drawn on monitoring data, evaluation data, and other appropriate evidence to inform any conclusions or decisions that emerge.
Project Management and Implementation
On behalf of government agencies, foundations, NGOs, philanthropists and other clients, we offer technical assistance in supporting results-based management and implementation of projects/programs that serve critical social, economic, environmental, governance, and public health needs.
Our project/program designs are tailored on the nine-path definition of success, following clearly defined theories of change and development hypotheses. We design our projects to encourage participation and critical thinking towards identifying all possible risks and strategies, promoting community ownership for projects/programs sustainability.
We carryout needs assessments prior to making project decisions thereby making sure that projects are designed and implemented according to needs of beneficiaries, and at the same time provide data tailored to the needs of our clients and their programs.
Our teams of experts lead all aspects of program design and implementation, with an emphasis on measurable outcomes and impact. We provide technical assistance to project/program managers is writing standard concept notes and technical proposals in alignment with donor requirements and beneficiaries needs.
Capacity Building Training and Workshop
We facilitate the transfer of knowledge, application of international guidelines and best practices, adaptation of innovative tools and approaches, and implementation of interventions that are efficient, effective, scalable, replicable and sustainable through training and workshop.
We offer capacity building for a range of topics that cover all the stages of project/program life cycle. We train teams, individuals and organizations on technical proposal writing, and all aspects of project/program management. We also support the development of monitoring, evaluation, accountability and learning capacities of organizations and individuals, teaching them how to tailor their MEAL activities in normal circumstances, humanitarian situations and emergencies.
We also train potential researchers and scholars in conducting empirical research, performing qualitative and quantitative data analysis and carrying out Market and business research/analysis.
Data Science, Development Research, and Business Intelligence and Analytics
We provide readily available sources of data to our clients through our database and data mining services. Unlike other databases that prioritize national aggregates over regional or local data needs, our database prioritizes disaggregated regional data.
Our development research also covers empirical research and market survey/analysis. Academicians and scholars seek out our team of multidisciplinary experts for analysis of research data in all academic fields. We also render technical support to up-coming researchers in carrying out academic research, writing research papers, and performing data analysis.
Business owners and entrepreneurs contact us for market research and analysis. We also carryout feasibility studies and design business plans for potential business owners. Our business intelligence and market analytics systems aid businesses and investors in making evidence-based investment decisions.
We build both simple and complex data processing systems and provide clients innovative solutions to their data management challenges.

We organize data in ways that allow visualization, advanced analytic techniques, and easy access which empowers clients to customize their data reporting and visualization.
Our Pricing Models
We leave no one behind in pricing. Ensuring that everyone wins is our core value. This is what defines our pricing models.
