Evaluations & Baseline Studies

Baseline, mid-term, and final evaluations that connect credible evidence to programme decisions, logframes, and donor reporting.

NCS designs and delivers evaluations and baselines that start with the decision the client needs to make. We clarify evaluation questions, map indicators, design mixed-methods tools, train field teams, supervise data collection, clean and analyse data, and validate findings with stakeholders before final reporting.
