We are an agile low-overhead consultancy offering services in

  • Results-based management
  • Monitoring and evaluation
  • Social, attitudinal and organisational research

We work in both developing and developed country contexts.

Our experience tells us that both participative/emergent and centrally-defined approaches to evaluation have roles to play, depending on the context.

The principal role in assignments is always taken by our Lead Consultant, with the possibility of drawing in associates from our 
international network.
