Evidence and impact measurement (EIM)

At MSC, we believe that strategic investments in the development space must be grounded in rigorous evidence and informed by adaptive learning. We partner with funders, policymakers, and mission-driven organizations to generate actionable insights and measure what truly matters. Through robust evaluations and outcome-driven strategies, we ensure that data translates into impact, to shape programs, policies, and investments that improve people’s lives and drive sustainable change.

We ground our efforts in utilization-focused and context-responsive methodologies to cocreate frameworks that are fit for purpose, which reflect the unique goals, geographies, and operational realities of each program. Our work emphasizes inclusivity, local ownership, and actionable insights that move beyond compliance to drive transformation.

Our partnerships with governments, nonprofits, and funders are marked by collaboration and continuous learning and un-learning of ways to maximize social impact. We operationalize monitoring, evaluation, and learning (MEL) principles into institutional processes to strengthen collective accountability and empower our partners with the tools for data-driven decision making.

Our extensive experience across South Asia, Southeast Asia, Sub-Saharan Africa, and Latin America enables us to help our partners demonstrate value for money, strengthen adaptive management, and promote continuous learning—particularly in low- and moderate-income countries (LMICs).

What we do

Evaluation

We design and implement theory-based, realistic, and transformative evaluations with the use of both experimental and quasi-experimental approaches.
Our work includes randomized controlled trial (RCT), difference-in-differences (DiD) evaluation, and regression discontinuity design (RDD) evaluation, among others.

MEL strategy

We cocreate MEL strategies rooted in theory of change and results frameworks to enable real-time decision-making.
We have developed institutional frameworks, conducted concurrent evaluations, and built MEL systems.

Capacity building

We strengthen institutional MEL systems and promote a culture of learning through training, system design, and strategic advisory.
We conduct regular training and capacity building workshops for governments and financial institutions.
