Monitoring, evaluation and learning

Research, surveys and MEL

Research is where many programmes begin and where many are judged: the baseline that sets the targets and the endline that shows whether they were met.

We design the questionnaires, run the fieldwork and check the data ourselves, so the client receives one dataset from one accountable team, from a single district to a national sample.

In Somalia

In Somalia, recent work includes an endline assessment of a WASH, protection and livelihoods project in Kismayo, Afmadow and Badhaadhe (2026) and the final evaluation of a multi-sector humanitarian response (2026).
