Third-Party Monitoring
MEL-as-a-Service for your next programme: the independent MEL unit behind five GIZ programmes and Endeavor Egypt’s XceleRise. Leave a seat for MEL.
Experience that predates the firm
Our partners spent more than a decade designing and running development programmes before CGS existed. It shows in what a study asks, and in recommendations written for what a team can actually do next quarter.
Responsive when the ground shifts
A governorate closes, a sample proves unreachable, a deadline moves. We redesign around the change rather than delivering a plan that no longer fits, and agree it in writing before it reaches your timeline.
Evidence you can defend
Findings are reported with what supports them, including where that support is thin. Where a study cannot answer a question with the data available, we say so rather than imply an answer.
NGO Capacity Assessment & Development
Funding civil society partners? We have assessed or supported 100+ NGOs across seven programmes. Let’s develop their capacity together.
