We apply a mixed-method, participatory, and inclusive approach that combines quantitative and qualitative research techniques to provide a comprehensive understanding of programme performance and contextual realities. This approach ensures that findings are both statistically robust and grounded in lived experiences.
We ensure data disaggregation by gender, age, disability, and displacement status, allowing for the identification of inequalities, specific vulnerabilities, and targeted opportunities for intervention. Where relevant, we also integrate additional disaggregation criteria such as livelihood type, geographic location, and socio-economic status to enable more nuanced analysis.
Engagement strategies are carefully culturally and linguistically adapted to the diverse communities we serve. This includes:
Our participatory methods actively involve stakeholders at every stage, from design to dissemination, ensuring that community voices are not only heard but meaningfully shape the recommendations. This includes consultations with women, youth, elders, persons with disabilities, and marginalized groups through targeted focus group discussions and inclusive community forums.
All our work is guided by the Leave No One Behind (LNOB) principles, ensuring equitable participation and benefits for groups often excluded from decision-making processes. We also integrate safeguarding protocols and Do No Harm principles, with specific measures to protect the dignity, privacy, and safety of all participants, particularly in sensitive contexts.
This approach not only improves data quality and reliability but also enhances ownership of findings, making them more actionable for programme adaptation, policy formulation, and long-term sustainability.
