About

Foresight Development Associates Ltd. was founded in the UK in 2014 with the goal of pursuing rigorous research and evaluation in international development.

We believe that excellence in monitoring and results measurement (MRM), in evaluation & impact appraisal, and in research & strategy for learning & adaptation, can drive impact in international development programming. This includes across the range of sectors we work, which includes education, health, agriculture, climate change adaptation & mitigation, private sector development, and financial services & inclusion.

We value integrity, honesty and respect, and we strive to ensure our values are at the heart of all the work we do. We believe research is best when it is a collaborative effort, when all voices are heard, and where quantitative and qualitative methods complement one another rather than either taking precedence.

Our Services

  • Monitoring & results measurement

    We support programmes to develop and deliver improved monitoring and results measurement (MRM) systems. This includes the design of payment by results (PbR) / results based financing (RBF) approaches, and development of MRM/M&E and value for money (VfM) frameworks.

  • Evaluation & impact appraisal

    At the heart of our work is design and implementation of high quality and rigorous evaluations, using quantitative and qualitative methods. We support programmes to measure and understand impact, across a range of sectors in international development.

  • Learning & Adaptation

    The ultimate goal of research should be to improve and learn, influence policy and adapt projects and programmes to maximise effectiveness, value for money, and impact. We provide the rigour to achieve this, and support design, strategy & implementation of development programming.
