Sector 03 / 08
Health Systems & Social Protection
The challenge
Coverage and protection must be fiscally sustainable and well targeted.
Globally benchmarked methods for informed decisions about health and welfare.
We conduct rigorous outcome and impact evaluations, using quasi-experimental and counterfactual methods to measure effectiveness and causal attribution, and mixed-method frameworks that integrate qualitative insight with quantitative techniques.
Our gender-transformative evaluation approaches identify structural barriers and lead to equity-driven program improvements, so that coverage reaches the people a program was designed for.
Every dot is a person. Evidence decides what happens next.
Five moves of monitoring, evaluation, research, learning and adaptation (MERLA), drawn on one population.

01 / 05 · Measure
Monitoring and results measurement
We design and deploy secure, scalable data systems — context-specific, high-integrity data ecosystems that strengthen decisions, transparency and accountability.
- Real-time monitoring with interactive dashboards and geospatial tools
- Capacity building for national governments, donors and development organizations in high-quality monitoring frameworks
02 / 05 · Compare
Impact evaluation with a counterfactual
Outcome and impact evaluations using quasi-experimental and counterfactual methods, with data collection benchmarked to World Bank and OECD-DAC criteria, randomized methods and DFID practice.
- Randomized and quasi-experimental designs
- Mixed-method frameworks for a holistic assessment
03 / 05 · Include
Gender-transformative evaluation
We look for the structural barriers that keep some people out, so that program improvements are driven by equity.
04 / 05 · Adapt
Fit-for-purpose and operational research
Evaluation designed for the sector and adapted to local priorities — including climate resilience, global health (for example, neglected tropical disease programming), education and sustainable development — with real-time operational research to find bottlenecks and improve resource efficiency.
- “Pause and Reflect” workshops and continuous learning cycles
- Most Significant Change and participatory research alongside econometric analysis
05 / 05 · Cost
Comparing the options under time pressure
For decision-makers who need evidence quickly, we systematically compare policy alternatives, run economic, financial and environmental cost-benefit analyses and project the impact of each option.
Three things our evaluations carry.
