Our research and evaluation approaches are grounded in international standards, adapted to local realities, and continuously improved through field learning.
Every methodology we deploy is selected for its fitness to the specific question at hand — not because it is familiar or convenient.
We integrate quantitative and qualitative methods to generate findings that are both statistically grounded and contextually rich. Survey data tells us what is happening; qualitative inquiry tells us why.
Our programme design and MEL work is anchored in RBM principles — defining clear results chains, setting SMART indicators, and establishing accountability mechanisms at every level.
All our evaluations are structured around the six OECD-DAC criteria: Relevance, Coherence, Effectiveness, Efficiency, Impact, and Sustainability — applied systematically and proportionately.
Evaluations conducted for UN system clients adhere fully to UNEG Norms for Evaluation in the UN System and UNEG Standards for Evaluation — ensuring independence, utility, and credibility.
MSC methodology captures developmental outcomes that conventional indicator frameworks cannot adequately measure — particularly transformative change in behaviours, relationships, and power dynamics.
Genuine participation by communities and right-holders is not just ethically important — it produces better data, more grounded analysis, and more sustainable recommendations.
We are happy to walk potential clients through our methodological approach for any specific assignment type before a procurement decision is made.
