Evaluation of Public Policies and Investments

Evidence-based decision-making is a cornerstone of modern and transparent public policy, free from distortions driven by subjective impressions. We understand evaluation not only as an ex-post assessment of interventions, but above all as an opportunity to adjust and improve newly designed policies and investments for the future.

#Data

What is the actual impact of selected public policies and investments?
How can lessons from unsuccessful past interventions be used to design effective policies?
How can data and evidence better support informed decision-making?

We deliver comprehensive evaluations of public policies and investments, grounded in collaboration, transparency, and the triangulation of multiple approaches and perspectives. Our work focuses on realistic evaluation designs based on proven qualitative and quantitative methods.

Our approach

We carry out comprehensive collection and analysis of primary and secondary data and provide thorough interpretation of findings, which form the basis for realistic and actionable recommendations.
