Research and Data Analytics

We conduct rigorous research that generates actionable insights for development decision-making. Our research designs balance methodological rigor with practical feasibility, ensuring findings are both credible and useful. 

Core Services: 

  • Baseline Studies: Comprehensive situation analyses establishing pre-intervention conditions for comparison 
  • Needs Assessments: Systematic identification of gaps, priorities, and resource requirements across populations and sectors 
  • Sectoral Assessments: In-depth analysis of specific sectors (education, health, agriculture, tourism, etc.) including performance, constraints, and opportunities 
  • Social Safety Net Reviews: Analysis of social protection programs including coverage, targeting, adequacy, and impacts 
  • Public Expenditure Reviews: Assessment of government spending patterns, efficiency, and equity including gender-responsive budgeting 
  • Operational Research: Problem-focused studies examining implementation challenges and identifying practical solutions 
  • Market Analysis: Assessment of demand, supply, and market dynamics for development initiatives 

Methodological Strengths: 

  • Mixed-methods approaches (quantitative and qualitative) 
  • Participatory research with communities and stakeholders 
  • Secondary data analysis and synthesis 
  • Comparative analysis across countries/programs 
  • Gender-sensitive and disability-inclusive research designs 
  • Cultural and contextual adaptation of research instruments 

Value Proposition: Our research doesn’t sit on shelves—we design studies that answer the questions decision-makers actually need answered, delivered in formats they can use.

Data only becomes useful when it’s analyzed and communicated effectively. We transform raw data into compelling insights through sophisticated analysis and clear visualization. 

Core Services: 

  • Statistical Analysis: Descriptive statistics, inferential analysis, regression modeling, and trend analysis 
  • Qualitative Data Analysis: Thematic coding, content analysis, and synthesis of interview/focus group data 
  • Performance Analysis: Assessment of results against targets, benchmarking, and comparative analysis 
  • Data Mining & Pattern Detection: Identification of trends, correlations, and insights from large datasets 
  • Geospatial Analysis: Geographic information systems (GIS) analysis for spatial patterns and targeting 
  • Data Visualization & Dashboards: Interactive dashboards, infographics, and data presentations for different audiences 
  • Data Quality Assessments: Evaluation of data reliability, validity, completeness, and timeliness 

Technical Capabilities: 

  • Advanced analytics software (SPSS, R, Excel, Tableau) 
  • Dashboard development (Power BI, Flourish, Tableau Public) 
  • Database management and data warehousing 
  • Data visualization best practices for non-technical audiences 
  • Web-based data platforms and knowledge management systems 

Value Proposition: We make complex data accessible and actionable, creating visualizations that tell stories and drive decisions rather than overwhelming stakeholders with numbers.
