Programmes
& MERL
We design, manage, and evaluate donor-funded development programmes with rigorous MERL frameworks, independent verification services, and deep thematic expertise in food security, climate, gender, and livelihoods across Nigeria and West Africa.
Our Key Services
From programme design to endline evaluation, we provide the full spectrum of development programme management, monitoring, evaluation, research, and learning services for international donors and NGOs operating in Nigeria.
Programme Design & Theory of Change
Results frameworks, logframes, theory of change development, and programme design for donor-funded initiatives — built on rigorous evidence, stakeholder consultation, and deep contextual knowledge of Nigeria's development landscape.
Implementation & Coordination
Programme management, stakeholder coordination, workplan delivery, and results reporting across complex multi-partner programmes — ensuring activities are delivered on time, within budget, and to donor-grade standards.
Training & Capacity Building
Institutional capacity assessments, training design and delivery, and organisational development for government agencies, NGO partners, and community organisations — building lasting systems beyond the programme cycle.
Evaluations — Midterm & Endline
Independent programme evaluations, impact assessments, and learning reviews for donor-funded programmes — providing credible, evidence-based findings that inform programme adaptation and future design decisions.
Independent Verification (RBF)
Results-based financing verification, payment milestone assessment, and independent verification agent (IVA) services — providing donors and governments with credible, impartial confirmation of programme results.
Data Analysis & Management
Survey design, data collection, database management, visualisation, and analytical reporting for development programmes — turning raw programme data into clear evidence that drives accountability and learning.
Food Security & Livelihoods
Food security analysis, MSME development, rural livelihoods programming, and household resilience assessments — delivering evidence-based interventions that reduce hunger and poverty across Nigeria's most vulnerable communities.
Carbon Project Development
VCS/Gold Standard carbon project design, MRV frameworks, and climate finance access advisory for development programmes seeking to generate carbon credits and access international climate funding mechanisms.
WEE, Gender & Social Inclusion
Women's economic empowerment, gender analysis, GESI mainstreaming, and social inclusion programming — ensuring development programmes reach and benefit the most marginalised groups across Nigeria and West Africa.
