Sheet A-04
Know what is working, and what to do next.
Policy monitoring, evaluation and impact assessment for governments, international organisations, NGOs and donors.
01The problem
Public money deserves evidence, delivered in time to use it.
Too many programmes are judged on outputs rather than outcomes, and evaluations land after the next budget is set. We design monitoring that runs alongside delivery, and evaluations that answer the question the next decision depends on.
02What's included
What you get.

04Typical outcomes
What changes.
- 01Evaluations that meet donor standards and get read beyond the steering committee.
- 02Indicators that measure outcomes, not just activity.
- 03A clear line from evidence to each recommendation.
- 04Monitoring data that arrives while decisions can still change.
05Pairs with Technology
When the plan needs building.
Public Policy rarely ends with a report. These are the Technology services it most often hands to, in the same team.

Design & Creative
Be understood quickly. Be remembered.
Are your evaluations independent?
Yes. Independence terms are written into the contract, conflicts of interest are disclosed, and commissioners can check facts but cannot edit findings.
Which evaluation approaches do you use?
OECD DAC criteria, theory-based and contribution analysis, and quasi-experimental designs where the data allows. The method follows the question.
Can you work to international donor requirements?
We are set up to meet the procurement, reporting, data protection and safeguarding standards international donors expect, and we'll share our policies on request.
Do you work in local languages?
Yes. Fieldwork is conducted in the languages of the people we study, with translated and back-checked instruments.
