Expertise 01

Statistical engineering

We design and run the surveys, analyses and data systems that provide evidence useful for decision-making.

What we do

  • Field surveys and sector studies
  • Advanced statistical analyses
  • Processing and documenting datasets
  • Designing monitoring dashboards

Impact evaluation and measurement

We measure what an intervention really changes, with rigorous methods and defensible conclusions.

What we do

  • Monitoring and evaluation of projects, programmes, strategies and policies
  • Evaluation design and method selection
  • Statistical analysis and effect estimation
  • Clear presentation of results to decision-makers

Climate project engineering

We support institutions in climate adaptation and mitigation, through to the development of fundable projects.

What we do

  • Assessment of climate vulnerabilities and risks
  • Carbon footprint and mitigation strategy
  • Support for developing climate policies and strategies (NAP, NDC, LT-LEDS)
  • Support for developing climate projects and programmes

Our activities by sector

Environment and climate change

  • Assessment of climate vulnerabilities and risksAnalysis of climate impacts on communities, ecosystems and economic sectors to support adaptation.
  • Carbon footprint and mitigation strategyAssessment of the GHG emissions of institutions and organisations, and development of mitigation plans.
  • Climate monitoring, evaluation and impact evaluationMeasuring the effectiveness of emission-reduction and adaptation projects.
  • Support for climate policies and strategiesSupport for governments and institutions on NAPs, NDCs and LT-LEDS and their climate action plans.
  • Support for developing climate projects and programmesProject ideas, concept notes and funding proposals, including for international mechanisms (GCF, AF, GEF).
  • Thematic studies

Food and nutrition security

  • Food resilience assessmentAnalysis of food systems facing climatic, economic or social shocks.
  • Monitoring and evaluation of projects, programmes, strategies and policiesAnalysis of how effective initiatives are at improving food and nutrition security.
  • Impact evaluationMeasuring the impact of initiatives in food security.
  • Support for developing projects and programmesIdentification, design and development of project and programme ideas, concept notes and funding proposals to submit to donors.

  • Thematic studiesStudy of the economic, cultural and environmental factors affecting population health.

Humanitarian

  • Humanitarian needs analysisReal-time needs assessment during crises to prioritise interventions.
  • Monitoring, evaluation and impact evaluation of humanitarian responsesAnalysis of the impact of interventions on beneficiary populations.
  • Mapping of at-risk areasUse of spatial data to anticipate needs in the event of natural disasters or conflicts.
  • Emergency data management systemsDevelopment of databases to coordinate humanitarian actors.

Water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH)

  • WASH infrastructure assessmentAnalysis of access to safe water, sanitation facilities and their quality.
  • Monitoring, evaluation and impact evaluation of WASH projectsMeasuring the public health improvement linked to interventions.
  • Hygiene behaviour analysisStudy of practices and perceptions to guide awareness campaigns.
  • Thematic studies
Our method

A four-step method

1

Understand the need

We frame the objectives, the context and the available data with you.

2

Design the system

We choose the right method, indicators and tools.

3

Implement

We collect, check and analyse data rigorously.

4

Present and hand over

We present actionable results and train your teams.
