What we research

We measure starting conditions and indicators before implementation.

How we carry out the research

  1. Map the programme logic

    We map programme activities, intended outcomes and assumptions to the evaluation questions.

  2. Plan the comparisons

    We assess baseline information and suitable comparisons, making attribution limits explicit.

  3. Connect measurement and learning

    We combine indicators and interviews to connect findings with delivery decisions.

Western Africa

Programme monitoring & outcome evaluation

An international development organization implemented a youth employability programme aimed at improving skills and employment outcomes for vulnerable young people. The client required an independent evaluation to assess programme effectiveness.

Western Africa

Midline evaluation of an agricultural value chain programme

A donor-funded agricultural value chain programme was implemented across selected states in Nigeria to improve smallholder farmer productivity, market access, and household income. Midway through implementation, the client engaged Surveysphere Africa to conduct an independent midline evaluation to assess progress, identify implementation gaps, and inform adaptive programme management.

Central Africa

Baseline and performance monitoring of a livelihoods programme

A multi-year, donor-funded livelihoods programme was implemented to improve income generation, food security, and resilience among vulnerable households in selected regions of Cameroon. The implementing agency engaged Surveysphere Africa to conduct an independent baseline study and establish a robust monitoring framework to support adaptive programme management.

Planning your evaluation

Include the framework, indicator definitions and past reports with the brief. Identify measures that must remain comparable and questions the current framework does not answer.
