Research designed around the decision it needs to inform - from baseline surveys and programme evaluations to multi-country fieldwork across African markets.
From needs assessment and baseline work to evaluation, qualitative research and multi-country studies.
Methods are adapted to context while core research standards, field controls and documentation remain consistent.
Analysis and reporting are designed around programme, policy, investment and operational decisions.
Research360 Africa works with organisations that need reliable evidence from communities, institutions, service users and programme participants across African markets. Our role can range from full research design and evaluation to country implementation, fieldwork and specialist data-collection support.
We combine local field capability with structured research management so that sampling, recruitment, training, respondent protection, supervision, quality assurance and final data handover are visible throughout the assignment.
Explore our core research and evaluation capabilities. Use the filters to narrow the offer, then open any card for a little more detail.
Establish what communities, institutions and programmes need before design or investment decisions are made.
We combine stakeholder consultation, household research, service mapping and contextual analysis to identify priority needs, gaps, access constraints and implementation realities.
Build comparable measurement frameworks that establish starting conditions and track change over time.
Sampling, tools, indicators and field protocols are aligned across study waves so that programme teams can compare results with confidence and understand where change has occurred.
Understand what is working, for whom, under what conditions and what should change.
We support process reviews, mid-term and final evaluations, outcome harvesting, theory-of-change testing and learning studies using quantitative, qualitative and mixed-method designs.
Examine access, experience, satisfaction, barriers, trust and programme journeys.
Methods are adapted to the respondent group, sensitivity of the topic and programme context, with particular attention to inclusion, respondent burden and safe participation.
Assess programme contribution, outcomes and effects using a design appropriate to the intervention.
Approaches can include mixed-method, quasi-experimental, contribution-analysis and theory-based designs depending on the programme model, available evidence and feasibility of comparison.
Study household welfare, work, vulnerability and the economic conditions shaping programme outcomes.
Our work can cover livelihoods, informal economies, labour-market participation, household resilience, vulnerability, market access and community-level socio-economic conditions.
Generate evidence on access, utilisation, experience, behaviour and health-system performance.
We support community health, SRHR, patient experience, service-access and health-system studies, with enhanced safeguards where research involves sensitive topics or vulnerable participants.
Understand access, participation, learning environments, skills, transitions and programme effectiveness.
Studies may involve learners, teachers, parents, schools, training institutions, out-of-school youth and community stakeholders using age-appropriate and context-sensitive methods.
Design evidence around gender, disability, safeguarding, social inclusion and protection questions.
Research protocols consider safe participation, confidentiality, accessible engagement and appropriate referral or escalation arrangements where topics or participant groups carry heightened risk.
FGDs, IDIs and KIIs designed around the research question, respondent profile and cultural context.
Recruitment, moderation, translation, transcription, field notes and analysis are managed as one research process so that qualitative evidence remains traceable from fieldwork through interpretation.
Structured data collection across household, community, facility, telephone and intercept settings.
We manage sampling, programming, recruitment, training, piloting, CAPI/CATI/CAWI delivery, supervision, live monitoring, back-checking, cleaning and structured handover.
Coordinate methods, tools, field teams and quality controls across multiple markets without losing local context.
Central research management is paired with country-level mobilisation, translation, training, supervision and issue resolution so that outputs are comparable while field delivery remains locally grounded.
Strong field access is only useful when it is supported by clear controls. We treat research delivery as a documented process rather than a collection of disconnected field activities.
Clear study roles, documented protocols, mobilisation plans and issue escalation.
Training, supervision, live review, back-checking and documented query resolution.
Consent, privacy, voluntary participation, safeguarding and study-specific risk controls.
Controlled access, secure transfer, cleaning, de-identification and structured handover.
Our work spans development, public-sector and social-impact questions where context, participation and implementation matter.
Health access, SRHR, community health, patient experience and health-system performance.
Schools, learners, teachers, youth transitions, skills development and training systems.
Water, sanitation and hygiene access, behaviour, service delivery and community systems.
Household welfare, informal economies, work, enterprise, market access and economic resilience.
Gender, disability, social inclusion, participation, access and unequal outcomes.
Youth participation, wellbeing, education, SRHR, skills, transitions and opportunity.
Protection risks, safeguarding systems, referral pathways and safe programme participation.
Public systems, social policy, accountability, citizen experience and service delivery.
Food access, nutrition, household vulnerability, behaviour and programme reach.
Climate vulnerability, adaptation, resilience, livelihoods and community response.
Research360 manages fieldwork from tool preparation and team mobilisation through training, data collection, supervision, quality control and final handover.
Household, facility, intercept and community surveys with digital tools and live field monitoring.
Structured telephone interviewing, call scheduling, interviewer supervision and contact-outcome tracking.
FGDs, IDIs and KIIs with recruitment, moderation, translation, transcription and field notes.
Method combinations designed around access, respondent profile, geography and study risk.
Methodological rigour is not limited to the questionnaire or discussion guide. It also depends on sampling, respondent access, team preparation, supervision, ethics, documentation and how field decisions are handled.
Research conducted with people requires more than methodological rigour. Ethical requirements are established during study design and mobilisation, with additional protections where research involves children, adolescents, displaced populations, survivors of violence or other participants who may face heightened risk.
Consultancy Cases demonstrate our methodological capability, while Projects present verified assignments and Research360 Africa’s role in delivery.
Define priorities, service gaps and stakeholder needs before programmes are designed or scaled.
Establish starting conditions and build comparable measurement waves for programme learning.
Understand implementation, progress, outcomes and the adjustments a programme may require.
Bring participant experience, access, satisfaction and barriers into programme decisions.
Assess outcomes, contribution and programme effects using designs appropriate to the intervention.
Understand livelihoods, vulnerability, welfare and the social and economic conditions shaping outcomes.
Research360 supports assignments across African markets through local research teams and established country networks. Coverage is confirmed assignment by assignment according to method, language, sample, logistics, ethics and study risk.
Coverage is confirmed against the practical requirements of each study, including team availability, language capability, respondent access, logistics and quality controls.
Our project presentation is being structured around the research question, geography, method, Research360 role, field controls and how the evidence was used. Named cases should only be published once the underlying assignment evidence is verified.
What the organisation needed to understand or decide.
Method, sample, locations, respondents and study logic.
Lead, country implementation, fieldwork or specialist support.
QA, safeguards, handover and how the findings informed the next decision.
Short notes on field quality, methodological consistency and the practical decisions that shape reliable evidence.
Recruitment, instrument testing, training and supervisor protocols often determine data quality before fieldwork begins.
Wave-to-wave consistency depends on indicators, sampling, tools, timing and documentation of implementation changes.
Common research standards need to coexist with language, respondent-access and field adaptations at country level.
Research teams are assembled around the study rather than forcing every assignment through the same staffing model.
Study design, client coordination, methodology, analysis and reporting oversight.
Local mobilisation, permissions, training, supervision, logistics and field issue resolution.
Sampling, MEL, safeguarding, qualitative research, sector expertise and data management added as required.
Share the geography, method, target respondents, sample or expected deliverables where known. If the design is still evolving, send the problem you need to solve and we can structure the research conversation from there.
