Evidence that holds up when the decision matters.

Adalto Africa is an independent African consulting firm working in monitoring, evaluation and learning, research, and digital data systems. We design and run the studies that tell governments, donors and programme teams whether what they are doing is working — and we build the data systems that keep the answer current.

What we do   Talk to us

Three things we are asked to do

Most of our work is one of these, and often all three on the same programme.

Evaluation and research

Baseline, midline, endline and impact evaluations across the full lifecycle — theory of change and indicator design, sampling, quantitative and qualitative data collection, analysis and reporting.

Data systems and digital

Electronic data collection, panel tracking, quality-assurance dashboards, data governance and protection, systems modernisation and cloud migration for institutions that run at national scale.

Learning and advisory

Measurement frameworks, evaluability assessments, results frameworks, and the translation of findings into decisions programme teams can actually act on.

Our team has delivered assignments for or with:

Selected work

A short sample. The fuller record is on the experience page.

Learning through Play baseline, Rwanda

A national baseline across 300 schools in nine districts for UNICEF Rwanda and the LEGO Foundation, with 10,800 pupils assessed in literacy and numeracy — designed expressly to make a later endline comparison possible.

Women's leadership and economic rights baseline, Tanzania

A six-region baseline for UN Women establishing values for every indicator in the programme results framework, with disability-responsive data collection.

Civil society rapid response funds framework

Design of a rapid response funding framework for the Aga Khan Foundation across Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania and Mozambique.

Considering an evaluation, or need a data system that works in the field?

We are happy to talk through scope, method and cost before anything is committed to paper.
