We are a team of consultants who utilize our collective experience and wisdom to deliver participatory and community-driven evaluations and consultancy. Our evaluation process assesses the effectiveness and impact of projects, programs, policies, and interventions. Going beyond traditional evaluation services we partner with your organization to maximize impact, build capacity, leverage resources for funding, develop strategic plans, and strengthen accountability.
Our approach to program evaluation is personalized and culturally-grounded, rooted in our commitment to equity and social justice.

Using a participatory model, we follow the community’s lead, honor the voices of all stakeholders, and encourage shared decision-making.
