Buyers and moments where this work pays for itself, and where it does not.
Who it is for
- UN agencies and EU-funded projects
- International NGOs and foundations
- Programme implementers facing a donor evaluation
- Government programme units
When to call us
- A baseline is due before implementation starts
- A midterm review must inform course correction
- An endline must show what changed and why
When it is not the answer
If the programme has no usable theory of change or indicators yet, an evaluation will struggle. We will recommend fixing the MEL framework first.
