What We Do
Using rigorous and creative evaluation and research approaches, Inform can help you reflect on your practice. We can do evaluation for you, working as external evaluators for an independent viewpoint. We can also work with you to do evaluation, leading with our expertise, but also engaging you throughout so that you learn from our process and strategies. Or we can help you learn to do evaluation, providing training and capacity building so that you and your team can build an evaluation culture. Inform’s evaluation and research services include:
