Questions clients ask

What is the difference between monitoring and evaluation?

Monitoring tracks progress continuously against plan. Evaluation steps back to judge whether the programme achieved its goals and why.

Can you build our M&E framework?

Yes. We help define indicators, data sources and reporting routines that match your funder’s requirements.

Do you work in rural communities?

Yes. Participatory and community-based research is a core part of our work.

Are your evaluations independent?

Yes. Objectivity is one of our core values, and we report findings as the evidence shows them.

How do you protect our data?

Data is handled in line with Ghana’s Data Protection Act, 2012 (Act 843), shared only with the project team and stored securely. We sign a non-disclosure agreement on request.

How do you handle research ethics?

We obtain informed consent, protect participants’ identities and follow the ethical requirements of the commissioning organisation.
