Why Independent Evaluation Matters
Accountability to Stakeholders
Donors, boards, and beneficiaries need credible proof that their contributions are making a difference. Independent evaluations provide that assurance.
Stronger Funding Bids & Renewals
Many grant makers—including global facilities such as the Big Lottery Fund’s Reaching Communities programme—now require third-party evaluations before approving or extending support. A rigorous report often tilts funding decisions in your favour.
Strategic Learning & Improvement
Beyond compliance, evaluations uncover lessons about what works, what doesn’t, and why—helping organizations refine programmes, scale successful pilots, and sunset under-performing activities.
Our Evaluation Approach
We begin our evaluation with a focused inception and scoping phase, where we clarify the project’s objectives and define what success looks like. This includes mapping relevant stakeholders, identifying data sources, and reaching a shared understanding of the theory of change. The outcome of this phase is an inception report and a robust evaluation matrix to guide the process.
Next, we move into data collection, employing a mixed-method approach that combines surveys, focus group discussions, and key informant interviews. Where applicable, we conduct comparative baseline and end-line studies, as well as beneficiary tracking and cost analysis to ensure comprehensive coverage. This phase results in rich raw datasets and detailed fieldwork memos.
During the analysis and synthesis phase, we apply rigorous quantitative methods to measure impact—such as cost-effectiveness and return on investment—while also using qualitative thematic coding to extract deeper insights. When feasible, we integrate counterfactual or quasi-experimental techniques to strengthen attribution. Draft findings are shared and validated through stakeholder workshops.
Our reporting and dissemination phase transforms the findings into a compelling, evidence-based narrative. We complement written reports with visual dashboards, infographics, and a presentation deck tailored to the needs of executives, funders, and practitioners.
Finally, in the learning and follow-up phase, we conduct debriefing sessions and help design action plans based on our recommendations. Where needed, we offer training and capacity building to integrate lessons learned into future programming. This phase concludes with a concise learning brief and an actionable roadmap.
