Common questions

Before you reach out

Do you work with small organisations, not just large donors?
+
Yes — we work across the full spectrum, from small NGOs needing a single evaluation framework to large multi-country donor programmes requiring full data systems and economic analysis. Every scope is tailored to your budget and timeline.
How long does a typical engagement take?
+
It depends on scope. A focused cost-benefit analysis or MEL framework typically takes 4–8 weeks. A full impact evaluation design or multi-country data system can run 3–12 months. We'll give you a realistic timeline in our scoping note, with no pressure to commit.
Can you provide an independent review of an existing CBA?
+
Absolutely. Independent technical review of cost-benefit analyses is one of our core services — particularly for donor submissions, programme evaluations, or peer review preparation. We provide structured critique, sensitivity analysis review, and a written assessment report.
Do you work remotely or travel in-country?
+
Both. Most analytical and advisory work is delivered remotely. For field-based data systems design, enumerator training, survey piloting, or capacity-building workshops, in-country visits can be arranged across Sub-Saharan Africa, Southeast Asia, and Latin America.
Can you support IRB and ethical compliance processes?
+
Yes. Dr. Karanja has extensive experience navigating IRB and ethical review processes for field-based research programmes. This is typically bundled into data systems design and impact evaluation engagements at no additional cost.
Who actually does the work — do you subcontract?
+
Every engagement is led directly by Dr. Ng'ang'a Karanja Stanley. We may bring in trusted specialist collaborators for large multi-country assignments, but you will always know exactly who is working on your project, and Dr. Karanja personally signs off all deliverables.
