We specialize in various evaluations, including development, theory-based, impact, and performance evaluations, using both qualitative and quantitative methods. Our innovative approaches range from randomized control trials to participatory action research and journey mapping.
Partnering with frontline organizations and leading academic institutions, we research and evaluate critical development topics in the MENA region, such as strengthening education systems, women’s labor market participation, and multi-stakeholder climate action. Our work is recognized by global organizations like UNESCO, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, and the International Finance Corporation.
