Strategy
We turn evidence and insight into strategies and actions to deliver impact. We support decision-makers at the programmatic, thematic and organisational levels.
With 35 years’ experience helping our clients to tackle complex global challenges, we’ve learnt a lot about what works, why, and under which circumstances. This proves a powerful asset when defining and refining impact strategies, goals and programmes.
We conduct original on-the-ground research in low- and middle-income countries, draw practical insights from reviewing existing evidence, and map theories of change to clearly articulate routes to impact. Our partners benefit from a clearer vision and priorities, more efficient use of resources, and greater effectiveness and synergies across their programmes and initiatives.
