and implementation analysis
The implementation of projects, programmes and policies is a continuous learning process. Therefore, it is essential to establish systems from the start to monitor progress and evaluate results, combining quantitative and qualitative data, and valorizing all stakeholders’ perspectives and experiences.
Among existing approaches, we favour the Theory of Change wherever possible.

Impact assessment
Impact and sustainability are key words in social and environmental policies, and represent their most strategic horizon of action. Because of this, our company specialises in effective methodologies that help entities and organizations assess, measure, and maximize the social and economic impacts of their efforts, engage stakeholders, and communicate internal and externally about the results achieved.
