To that end, I4DI upholds the highest standards of methodological rigor in our research and analytical services. We are well-versed in the spectrum of evaluation methods, including those that distill causality and we are known for our expertise in both qualitative and quantitative analysis. We are leaders in the innovation of MERL design, the development of integrated measurement systems for results-based management, outcome evaluations of multi-pronged, regional initiatives, and organizational capacity building to support continuous learning efforts.
