Development Consulting and Research

Our Development Consulting and Research services offer:

Descriptive Studies

We help the clients in planning resource allocation and identifying areas for further research. We provide analytical information about the intervention and the project. We reveal patterns and connections that might otherwise go unnoticed. We explain relationships among phenomena, situations and events as they occur.

Evaluation Studies

We undertake evaluations across the project cycle including baseline, mid-term and impact assessment. We analyze the impact of social programmes, institutions and events, in terms of the direct and indirect impacts, and any other incidental impacts. We measure the changes in well-being that can be attributed to a particular project or policy; the results help inform decisions about future direction. Our evaluation designs are robust and effectively capture the changes brought in by an intervention. The designs also aptly identify the factors responsible for the changes.

Formative Studies

We qualitatively as well as quantitatively assess the relative importance of factors affecting the intervention or the project. We formulate and conceptualize methods including focus groups and stakeholder analysis to understand the factors influencing the intervention.
