Our evaluation services extend to the creation of baseline surveys that measure basic indicators prior to the intervention. We also provide midline evaluation as well as endline evaluation for different interventions depending on the timeframe of the intervention. We utilize different evaluation methodologies to evaluate interventions such as the World Bank, European Union, United Nations Agencies as well as other international agencies. Evaluation pillars of development initiatives include Relevance, Effectiveness, Efficiency, Coherence and Sustainability.

We follow experimental approach to design the research that is employed to assess the impact on the community or the environment. Special attention is given to sampling and statistical methods.

Our services include assessment of direct and indirect positive or negative change which took place during and after the intervention.
