Qualitative Research & Ethnographic Studies

Quantitative data tells you what is happening. Qualitative evidence tells you why. Our qualitative research team designs and executes in-depth inquiry systems that surface the complexity, context, and lived experience that numbers alone cannot capture.

Capacity Building & MEL Strengthening

Sustainable development outcomes require institutions that can monitor, evaluate, and learn from their own programmes. We build that internal capacity — through training, system design, toolkit development, and embedded technical assistance.

Research methodology training for government and NGO staff
Enumerator and field supervisor training programmes
MEL toolkit and standard operating procedure development
Data literacy and use workshops for programme teams
Embedded technical assistance for evaluation capacity
Policy brief writing and knowledge translation support
Applied across: AYUSH PMU Support (450 facility assessments) — IQVIA India
