Research & evaluation.

Are you looking to more deeply understand how your program or intervention is working?

We can work with you to co-design and implement innovative and evidence-driven evaluations to enhance the impact of your work.

Evaluation, monitoring, learning and research can mean lots of different things and take many different forms. 

Think of us as your evaluation guide – ready to point the way, walk beside you, or take the lead. Wherever you are in the process, we’re here help you make sense of what matters.  

From supporting you to develop a Theory of Change, building a program logic, or providing advice on one aspect of the evaluation cycle, through to full, multi-year evaluations, we’re ready to help you dig in and benefit from ethical and informed evaluation thinking!

Approach

Using qualitative and quantitative methods, and action research principles, we will work with you and bring: 

  • experience with complexity and systems thinking
  • a strengths-based approach that is culturally appropriate, trauma-informed and inclusive
  • participatory, co-design, and human centred design principles
  • self organisation and a strong values-base to ensure a sound and effective working relationship
