Baseline before launch
A baseline study designed alongside the results framework, so the endline comparison is valid rather than reconstructed.
Industry
Development Organizations
Research, evaluation, survey, financial management, compliance and project support for programmes accountable to donors and boards.
The pressure
Evidence and accountability, on the donor's timetable
Development programmes have to demonstrate both that the money was spent as agreed and that it produced the change it promised. Those are two different disciplines, usually procured separately, and usually due at the same time.
Grant compliance
Eligible cost rules, budget lines and reporting formats per funder.
Evidence of impact
Baseline and endline measurement designed before the programme starts.
Field logistics
Enumerator training, supervision and data quality across dispersed sites.
Audit readiness
Documentation that survives a donor or project audit.
