Policy & impact evaluations
Independent assessment of what works, for whom, and why using rigorous mixed method designs.
We offer a range of services that evaluate the impact of policies and programmes. We cover a wide spectrum of our partner’s needs, from statistical approaches (randomised control trials, quasi-experimental designs) through to theory-based approaches that focus more on understanding how impact occurs and who benefits. Wherever possible we use mixed-method approaches to provide a holistic understanding of impact.
