To ensure programs and managers have the critical information they need to measure and maximize their impact, we support organizations across the monitoring and evaluation continuum, from conceptualizing a theory of change and results framework, to metric development, research, and data use strategies, in order to build a culture of evidence-based management and strategic decision-making. We believe that data is key to program and organization success, and so we prioritize producing easy to use and actionable information that will inform program improvements in real-time, support evidence-based management, and strengthen advocacy efforts. We have experience working with individuals, small businesses, small and large nonprofit organizations, and government ministries to successfully develop and implement measurement initiatives that strengthen management capacity and organizational impact.
