Program Development

We support community development organizations develop effective programs with measurable social impact and accountability.

Our services are rooted in cutting edge program development principles that ensures you are set up for success

Our Program Development Services

Needs-Based Program Design

We conduct comprehensive needs assessments to ensure that your programs are developed based on evidence about real needs in the community.

We conduct cost-benefit analysis to determine:

  • Projected value your program will create

  • Your project's time and cost savings in the short and long term

Theory of Change Development

We work with you to articulate a clear pathway to achieving your desired outcomes and impacts by:

  • setting up clear goals, with each goal tied to key performance metrics to measure its achievement

  • outlining cause linkages between inputs, outputs, and outcomes

  • identifying underlining assumption and risks to desired outcomes

  • Outlining interventions and activities to achieve desired outcomes

Logic Model Construction

Our team develops detailed logic models that serve as your program's strategic roadmap, clearly mapping:

  • Resources and inputs required

  • Program activities and outputs

  • Short, medium, and long-term outcomes

  • Impact measurement strategies

  • External factors and assumptions

Program Monitoring & Evaluation

Results-Based Monitoring Systems

We establish sophisticated M&E systems that track progress in real-time, enabling adaptive management and continuous improvement. Our frameworks incorporate:

  • Performance Monitoring: Regular tracking of key performance indicators (KPIs) against established baselines and targets

  • Process Evaluation: Assessment of program implementation fidelity and operational efficiency

  • Outcome Harvesting: Documentation of intended and unintended outcomes to capture full program impact

  • Data Management Protocols: Secure, ethical data collection and storage systems compliant with privacy regulations

Evaluation Methodologies

Our evaluation services employ mixed-methods approaches tailored to your program's unique context:

Formative Evaluation: Conducted during program development to refine design and implementation strategies

Summative Evaluation: Comprehensive assessment of program effectiveness, efficiency, and sustainability upon completion

Developmental Evaluation: Real-time evaluation support for innovative programs operating in complex, dynamic environments

Impact Evaluation: Rigorous assessment of causal attribution using experimental or quasi-experimental designs when appropriate
