Independent Evaluations & Research

We are a research consultancy specializing in independent evaluations and studies in the field of international cooperation. With more than 20 years of experience, we conduct baseline studies as well as mid-term and final evaluations.

Our expertise lies in two complementary areas:

• Substantive knowledge, with a strong track record in decent work across diverse global value chains, the education sector (ranging from early childhood to higher education), and good governance.

• Methodological strength, combining advanced quantitative and qualitative research skills to deliver rigorous, insightful, and actionable results.

Evaluations and Evidence Based Decisions

Most of our (impact-) evaluations are theory-based driven. Together with our clients, we always look for the most appropriate evaluation design. All our experts have a strong methodological scientific background. They are strong in data collection and analysis. They understand the art of translating analyses into action-oriented and strategic solutions. We use innovative ICT and software applications to maximise validity and reliability. We like participative and capacity building approaches

Where We Work

We are located in Antwerp-Belgium. We conducted impact research projects, evaluations and trainings, together with our partners, in more than 35 countries around the globe

Theory Based Approaches

We guide organisations to map their ideas and hypotheses towards achieving the desired social change (Theory of Change, ToC). We do this in a participatory way with input from all stakeholders. We always ensure that all decisions are evidence-based. Theories of change also form the starting point for the vast majority of the (impact) evaluations we carry out.
