We design and deliver research in places where data is scarce, conditions are difficult, and decisions can’t wait. Our work bridges rigorous methods with deep field experience, producing evidence that is both reliable and relevant.

What we do

1.
Designing research that is fit for purpose
Context-sensitive, participatory, methodologically sound. From ethnography to large-scale surveys, we choose the right tools for the right questions.
2.
Collecting data in any context
Nationwide surveys, in-depth interviews, CATI: always ethically grounded, operationally robust, and adapted to the realities on the ground.
3.
Turning data into insights
Advanced analytics, GIS mapping, visual storytelling: translating complex evidence into actionable insight for policy and practice.
4.
Building capacity that lasts
Training and mentoring local researchers to lead quality research and analysis, leaving behind skills, systems, and institutional memory.

From capital cities to villages only reachable on foot, we find a way to collect reliable data, even when the roads are flooded and the map is blank.
