EMCAD provides comprehensive research and evaluation services designed to inform decision-making, improve program design, and measure results. Our work covers baseline, midline, and endline evaluations, feasibility studies, needs assessments, and policy reviews. We use a blend of quantitative and qualitative methodologies and tools, including SPSS, NVivo, and Kobo Toolbox, to ensure the collection and analysis of high-quality data. Whether working on national studies or multi-country evaluations, we prioritize methodological rigor, contextual relevance, and stakeholder engagement. Our research has supported critical sectors such as public health, gender equality, education, and livelihoods, and we’ve successfully delivered assignments across Zimbabwe, Ethiopia, Somalia, and South Sudan.
EMCAD offers professional training programs that enhance the skills, confidence, and effectiveness of individuals and organizations working in the development sector. Our training is interactive, context-specific, and aligned with global development goals. We cover a wide range of topics, including monitoring and evaluation, results-based program management, SPSS and NVivo data analysis, research methods, grant proposal writing, and strategic planning. We also run specialized sessions such as the UN Week Initiative, which educates participants about UN systems and opportunities.
