Independent programme evaluation and research you can defend.

A funder or implementer needs a credible, independent evaluation of a programme’s results, and generic consultants cannot deliver the methodological rigour donors expect.

A full independent evaluation against recognised criteria: a robust design matched to your questions, mixed-methods data collection with field capability across difficult settings, and a clear, defensible report with actionable recommendations.

Donors, INGOs, UN agencies, and foundations needing mid-term or endline evaluations.

A programme is about to launch or a proposal is being written, and there is no solid baseline or needs evidence to design against or measure from.

A structured baseline survey or needs assessment: survey and qualitative tools designed for the context, field data collection including in hard-to-reach settings, and a baseline dataset and report ready to anchor the results framework.

NGOs and INGOs designing programmes; donors requiring baseline evidence; proposal teams.

A decision-maker needs quick, reliable field data, a market assessment, a rapid needs check, or a quick study, on a short timeline.

Fast-turnaround field data collection and analysis using structured digital tools, with enumerators who can work across languages and difficult terrain, delivering clean data and a concise findings brief.

Humanitarian responders; programmes needing rapid market or needs data; organisations facing short deadlines.

A multi-year programme needs continuous research, learning, and adaptive evidence, not a single study, but does not want to build a full research unit.

A retained partnership where CASA acts as your embedded evidence function: a rolling research agenda tied to your learning questions, periodic studies and learning briefs through the cycle, and adaptive evidence that actually shapes decisions.

Large multi-year programmes; donors funding learning agendas; consortia needing a shared evidence partner.

An organisation holds research or programme data but cannot translate it into the crisp policy and advocacy products that move decision-makers.

Evidence synthesis and policy-ready briefs, summaries, and strategy notes that turn data into arguments funders and policymakers act on, in a direct, credible register free of fabricated citation.

Advocacy organisations; donors shaping policy; programmes needing to influence, not just report.

The sector lacks credible East African evidence on themes CASA knows deeply: GBV, humanitarian systems, civic accountability, and resilience.

Commissioned or co-funded thematic and sector studies that build the evidence base and establish authority, published and disseminated through CASA’s own channels and feeding future work.

Foundations funding sector knowledge; research funders; partners co-investing in evidence.
