Give your Theory of
Change a robust
measurement framework.

We work with programme, MEL and leadership teams to clarify the outcomes that matter, the questions your data needs to answer, and the evidence required to answer them.

our approach

Your Theory of Change is our starting point, always.

Before we talk about indicators, tools or dashboards, we sit with your Theory of Change and ask whether it still describes the work your teams do today. Programmes tend to evolve quickly at times, and indicators and measurement frameworks are often left behind in the priority list of things to do. We come in to make sure your systems accurately still reflect your Theory of Change.

Then we learn how your teams actually work with data.

We spend time with the people closest to the work, from leadership to programme and field teams, to understand how each one collects data, defines success and reports outcomes. We visit field offices where we can, because for our work, we need to understand how and why data travels through each level in the organization. This shows us where definitions overlap, where they have drifted apart, and what has stood in the way of alignment before.

We pin down the key questions, then map what to measure.

With leadership and programme teams, we identify the key questions your data needs to answer, from day-to-day programme decisions to conversations with funders. We then map each question to a focused set of indicators, with clear definitions, data sources and collection methods, so you measure what you need and nothing more.

Dashboards and reporting

Build dashboards that answer real questions, not simply display available data. We start with what questions you want your data to answer for you, and then build out a system that effectively showcases that.
