Evaluation
We deliver robust evaluations - from impact, process, value‑for‑money and developmental approaches to equity and place‑based assessments - alongside independent quality assurance and economic analysis.
Our evaluators bring the independence and integrity required to deliver transparent, robust judgements on the effectiveness, impact and value for money of our partners’ work. The evidence we generate helps our partners make decisions on programme or policy strategy, implementation and where best to allocate resources. Our work encourages accountability to people and communities, as well as business leaders, donors and the general public.
We offer an extensive service, from project-level to global portfolio evaluations. Understanding the needs of our clients and how evidence will feed decision-making is fundamental to our work. Our expertise ranges from large-scale impact evaluation, organisational and portfolio evaluations, to real-time, formative and process approaches. Whatever the question, however complex the context, we tailor our work to provide the evidence required.
