Home / Services / MERL & Data Consultancy

Evidence your donor, board and team can trust.

Monitoring, evaluation, research and learning delivered by postgraduate-qualified evaluators with hands-on experience inside donor-funded programmes — designed for real decisions, not the shelf.

What we do

Four core capabilities, one accountable team.

Programme evaluations

Baseline, mid-term and end-term evaluations aligned to OECD-DAC criteria — designed, conducted and reported to survive donor review the first time.

Surveys & research

End-to-end study management: research design, sampling, enumerator training, field supervision, and quality-assured data — quantitative, qualitative or mixed methods.

Digital data collection

KoboToolbox and ODK form design, skip logic, translations, deployment and real-time quality monitoring — so your field data arrives clean.

Dashboards & data systems

Power BI dashboards, KPI trackers and management information systems (including DHIS2) that turn programme data into decisions your team acts on.

And more

The supporting work that makes evidence stick.

Results frameworks, theories of change and indicator reference sheets
Data quality assessments (DQAs) and MER system audits
Statistical analysis in SPSS, Stata and R
Learning briefs, case studies and success story documentation
Third-party monitoring and verification
Donor report writing and data visualisation support

What sets us apart

Practitioners, not just consultants.

Inside-programme experience

Our evaluators have coordinated MERL inside donor-funded programmes for 8+ years, so deliverables are built for real donor review, not the shelf.

Certified analytics capability

Microsoft Certified Power BI Data Analyst (PL-300) leading all dashboard and analysis work.

Methodologically rigorous

Sampling, instruments and analysis you can defend — aligned to OECD-DAC criteria and donor MEAL standards.

Findings people actually use

Clear writing, strong visuals and actionable recommendations, presented for decision-makers rather than methodologists.

Prices

Transparent where possible, scoped where sensible.
