Institutional Research

We work with you to further explore your data to facilitate data-driven decision.

01 / Scope

What it covers

  • Needs assessments and situation analyses
  • Feasibility and market studies
  • Policy and operational research
  • Knowledge, attitudes and practice (KAP) studies
  • Qualitative studies: key informant interviews, focus group discussions and case studies
  • Desk reviews and evidence syntheses

02 / Method

How we do it

  1. We start with an inception phase. Together we agree the research questions, the method, the sample and the timeline, and we set them out in an inception report you approve before fieldwork begins.

  2. We choose methods to fit the question, not the other way round. Many studies combine a quantitative survey with qualitative interviews, so that the numbers and the explanations support each other.

  3. Where a study involves people, we obtain ethical clearance and informed consent, and we handle every record under a written data management plan.

03 / Deliverables

What you receive

  • An inception report setting out the design, tools and work plan
  • Final data collection tools, tested in the field
  • A clean, documented dataset with its codebook
  • A final report with an executive summary written for decision-makers
  • A presentation of findings to your team

Built around your needs

Who it is for

Government ministries and agencies, non-governmental organisations, development partners, universities and private companies that need sound evidence for a decision.
