We specialize in program evaluation techniques, with a strong focus on ensuring that these lead to practical and actionable insights for our clients, ideally during and not only after the end of an intervention. These evaluations might include rigorous experiments, quasi-experiments, tracer studies or process evaluations. We always prefer mixed-method approaches. 

Laterite has conducted or contributed to the design and analysis of impact evaluations in Rwanda, Kenya, Tanzania, South Sudan, Burundi and Ethiopia, covering gender, education, teacher training, gender violence, cash transfers, poverty reduction and agriculture support programs.

Laterite provides detailed, in-depth analysis based on desk research, complemented with key stakeholder interviews, focus groups and/or quantitative surveys. We have prepared landscape mapping reports (e.g. on the education system in Ethiopia, on social inclusion assessments in Rwanda) that have helped large NGOs and governmental officials steer future programs and interventions.
