Research & Social Assessment |

| The division undertakes impact assessment/evaluation of microfinance, micro-enterprise and other livelihoods programmes. Impact monitoring and assessment is central to development. It addresses questions of what is being achieved, who benefits and how. Research & Impact Assessment division covers specific programmes for NGOs and financial institutions and helps organisations to develop their own assessment systems. It also assists larger programmes (multi-lateral donor organisations and governments) to provide wider-scale assessments across projects and regions. |

EDA's research experience covers
a range of development programmes and different economic
sectors. In all our assignments, we balance rigor with
practicality, combining best practices in impact assessment in
terms of stakeholder consultation, application of tools,
careful field work, and both quantitative and qualitative
analysis. We provide in-depth reports with concise summaries
to highlight the key findings and the strategic implications
for improving development practice. |
