We recognise that most international development efforts pursue complex change. This type of change is often intangible, non-linear, and difficult to predict in pace and scale.  

Measuring this therefore requires complex-aware methods like: Outcome Mapping / Outcome Harvesting, Most Significant Change, Collective Impact Approach and Timeline Analysis.

We need to understand the expected and unexpected changes, which can go beyond your own deliverables. What is the significance of your intervention? How plausibly can change be attributed to your efforts?  

Together we pick from our toolkit of tested methodologies, which we tailor to your specific needs. This can include Contribution Analysis, Realist Evaluation, Process Tracing or Collaborative Outcome Reporting.  

We mobilise additional quantitative expertise when appropriate.  

For true learning, we go even further: we deliberately pursue the acceptance and internalisation of evaluation results through joint sense-making.  

We stimulate our clients to analyse from different perspectives, to enrich our conclusions and ideas for strong future performance.

We then work with you to translate the evaluation findings into actionable measures that will empower you towards even greater social impact.
