Qualitative Research

Whist indicators and statistics are very important, they cannot offer us explanations of causality in the way that ethnographic and advanced qualitative research approaches can.

Our experts observe, record and synthesise information based on key interviews, informal focus groups and discussions. To investigate the webs of knowledge and meaning, that underpin peoples needs, motivations, and experiences. These investigations can yield important data and can also be modelled to explain why programmes have or have not worked, and aid our understanding of causal pathways.

We facilitate workshops and qualitative research with a range of subjects including political and business elites, policy makers, community leaders, members of households, children, teachers, programme managers and others. Our work has taken us to Europe, Asia, Africa and the Middle East.

We offer transcription and translation services.
