Center for Impact Evaluation and Research Design

The Centre for Impact Evaluation and Research Design (CFIERD) was founded in 2017 as a private limited company that is engaged in social research design, monitoring and evaluation, impact evaluations and environmental impact assessments, mobile data collection tools and data analysis services. The company works with associate consultants engaged by the company to conduct specific consulting assignments. We have a well-established record of accomplishment as an innovative and a value-adding company operating within the development sector. We note that modern day development interventions are complex, and this calls for innovative approaches both in designing and evaluating their impact. CFIERD matches up to this challenge by providing expert knowledge on research designs and the various impact evaluation designs. Design matters simply because it is the most effective way of answering the world’s problems and an effective way of utilizing the world’s limited financial resources. We provide support in developing and implementing quantitative and qualitative research designs, cross-sectional designs, and longitudinal designs. WE PROVIDE THE FOLLOWING COMPARATIVE ADVANTAGE: Use of highly qualified project team members. We will ensure that our team comprise relevant experience and expertise as recommended in the RFP document (monitoring and evaluation fields and child specialist).
