As experienced evaluators, we know all too well that the real world is not a laboratory. Policies and programmes that seek to improve citizen’s lives take place in the real world and are an integral part of complex (inter)governmental dynamics. We stand for a rigorous, academic approach towards evaluation and impact assessment, but we are aware of and experienced in dealing with the complexity of evaluating real world events.

Our evaluation results and conclusions are the result of objective and independent analyses. We work closely together with our clients to determine the research questions that help them improve their practices and use our experience as policy consultants to help them do so based on our results. This requires an extensive focus on our relationships with clients and their stakeholders throughout the process. A keystone to our approach.
