Monitoring, Evaluation, Accountability, & Learning
Through demand-driven, rigorous evaluations, and robust monitoring systems, our work supports adaptive management and learning, enabling the use of evaluation evidence in decision making to improve the implementation and successful delivery of results. We have experience in designing and implementing tailored MEAL activities that draw on a wide range of tools, methods, and approaches to engage stakeholders and deliver robust evaluation evidence, reliable and accurate monitoring data, and tailored learning information.
Collaboratively with our client, we formulate objectives, principles, strategies, and implementation frameworks for MEAL, setting out the critical informational requirements at each level of the results framework including roles and responsibilities, data collection modality, and promotion for tailored learning practices.
Strategic Planning and Development
We examine what organizations are doing to stay relevant and competitive in this fast-paced world, and which ones are doing it best. We then strategize using smart tools and global resources in order to understand the implications of every choice our clients can make. Get in touch to learn more about how this service can help you.
Knowledge Management and Innovation
We place the utility of evidence at the center of our work, which informs how we collect data, present evidence, and facilitates learning. We employ a variety of learning and knowledge-sharing techniques to enhance the creation, access, and utilization of pertinent data in order to enhance program performance. NSDation evaluates M&E systems within organizations so as to assist clients in modifying existing approaches or creating new systems. Thus, we assist our clients in collecting, managing, and utilizing data, resulting in more informed programs with greater impact.
Organizational Development and Capacity Building
We help organizations, governments, community-based organizations, and civil society organizations craft development agendas, plan for change and take effective action. Our capacity development work goes beyond knowledge transfer, relies on co-creation and co-implementation, incorporates technology in creative ways, and agilely works within a complex, adaptive system.
Ed Beswick, Disasters Emergency Committee
"We had an excellent working relationship with NSDation Consultancy Services
who delivered high quality work with actionable recommendations. The team
carried out data collection across Turkey and Syria. They delivered a series of
workshops, both remote and in-person, with key stakeholders and produced a
series of high-quality outputs, including a findings report, factsheets, and an audio
broadcast."
Patrice Charpentier, Humanitarian Response Network
"NSDation
developed an excellent training curriculum to meet our expectations and led all aspects of the
preparation, from training content to pedagogic support. They were able to carry all the preparation
and facilitation tasks even though the work was done remotely."

"NSDation carried out an end of project summative evaluation for the ShelterBox Earthquake Response, Turkiye"
"The evaluation was carried out to a high standard and ShelterBox were pleased with both the process and the final product."
