Comprehensive MEL Services

We offer end-to-end monitoring, evaluation, and learning solutions tailored to the Global South context

MEL Frameworks & Systems Design

Designing comprehensive monitoring and evaluation frameworks from scratch or strengthening existing systems. We develop Theories of Change, logical frameworks, indicator sets, and data collection systems that align with donor requirements and national MIS standards.

Evaluations & Research

Conducting independent evaluations across the project lifecycle including baseline studies, mid-term reviews, final evaluations, and impact assessments . We also undertake applied research, political economy analyses, needs assessments, and sectoral studies to inform policy and strategy.

Data Collection & Analytics

End-to-end data collection and analysis services using digital tools, participatory methods, and rigorous statistical analysis to provide solid evidence for decision-making. We coordinate complex multi-country evaluations across Africa leveraging our pan-African presence and regional expertise.

Learning & Capacity Building

Going beyond measurement to actively facilitate organizational learning through reflection workshops, training programs, and mentorship initiatives. We build sustainable MEL capacity within organizations to ensure long-term impact and continuous improvement.

Our Approach to MEL

We are confident that our participatory, equity-focused, systems-aware approach โ€“ combined with our professional rigor and donor-savvy communication โ€“ aligns perfectly with what forward-looking organizations seek in MEL today. By partnering with Insights Afrika Lab, donors and development actors can ensure their programs are assessed fairly and thoroughly, and that the insights gained will propel greater effectiveness and equity in their work across Global South. We welcome the opportunity to work with you to co-create evidence, foster learning, and drive impact for the communities that matter most.

A Word From The Founder

Transforming Evidence into Action across Global South

Image

At the heart of Insights Afrika Lab is a simple but bold idea: the Global Southโ€™s development story should be told and improved through Global South-led evidence, learning, and impact.

The Vision: A continent where every decision, whether in a rural health clinic, a donor boardroom, or a regional policy forum, is informed by credible, context-grounded evidence.

We are building a network of changemakers who believe in impact that lasts because it is owned. Whether youโ€™re a donor, NGO, government, or private-sector partner, Insights Afrika Lab is your ally in turning data into a force for equity, learning, and transformation.

The โ€œLabโ€ isnโ€™t a metaphor; itโ€™s our method. We experiment, iterate, and co-create solutions with our partners, ensuring every insight leads to measurable change.

โ€œWe donโ€™t just measure impact, we multiply it."
