Evaluation Planning & Design: Evaluation planning and design establish a structured approach to assess a program’s effectiveness by defining key questions, methodologies, and success metrics. This process ensures that evaluations produce meaningful, actionable insights for decision-making and improvement.

​

Evaluability Assessments: An evaluability assessment determines whether a program or initiative is sufficiently prepared for evaluation by examining its clarity, feasibility, and the availability of relevant data. It assists organizations in refining their goals and data collection methods prior to conducting a full evaluation.​

​

Dashboard & Data Visualization (Excel, Airtable, Power BI): Dashboards and data visualization tools transform complex data into clear, interactive visuals that support decision-making and storytelling. Using platforms like Excel, Airtable, and Power BI, organizations can track key metrics, trends, and insights in real time.

​

Survey Design & Administration: Survey design and administration involves creating, distributing, and analyzing structured questionnaires to collect specific, focused information. A well-designed survey ensures reliable data collection for program evaluation, research, and decision-making.

​

Interviews and Focus Group Facilitation: Interviews and focus group facilitation engage participants in guided discussions to collect qualitative insights on experiences, needs, and perceptions. These methods provide rich, in-depth data to complement quantitative findings in evaluations and research.

​

Case Studies: Case studies provide a detailed examination of a specific program, project, or participant experience to illustrate impact, challenges, and best practices. They are powerful storytelling tools that combine qualitative and quantitative data to highlight real-world outcomes.

​

Data Collection, Cleaning, and Analysis: Data collection, cleaning, and analysis involve gathering information, removing errors or inconsistencies, and interpreting findings to ensure accuracy and usability. This process enables organizations to make data-driven decisions and effectively demonstrate impact.

​

Research: Research involves systematically gathering, analyzing, and synthesizing information to explore trends, evaluate effectiveness, or generate new knowledge. Strong research practices inform decision-making, policy development, and program improvements.

​

Logic Model and Theory of Change Development: Logic models and Theories of Change visually map the relationships between program inputs, activities, outputs, and intended outcomes. These frameworks help organizations clarify their strategy, measure impact, and communicate their approach to stakeholders.

​

Project Management: Project management ensures that initiatives are effectively planned, executed, and monitored to achieve goals within scope, timeline, and budget constraints. It involves coordinating tasks, teams, and resources to maximize efficiency and success.
