At ImpactSphere Consultancy (ISC), we pride ourselves on our extensive quantitative and qualitative research expertise. Our comprehensive research services are designed to provide your organization with valuable insights and data-driven strategies that drive success and innovation. To achieve this, we develop a comprehensive survey methodology that captures every significant aspect of the research.

Our team is highly skilled in inductive (qualitative) and deductive (quantitative) research methods. We collaborate closely with our partners to define the research objectives, understand the necessary processes, and gather the evidence to align with your organization's overall goals and mission.  

Utilizing our expertise ensures that our research provides valuable insights and actionable recommendations that meet our partner's needs. 

Project Design / Proposal Development

ISC believes that the more energy, creativity, and hard work invested in program design, the greater the likelihood of meaningful program implementation would be with great success. Our approach to program design is collaborative, iterative, and can be done in consultation with your relevant program team. We work together to repeatedly review and refine a program until we are confident it will consistently achieve its goals and aligned with your funders requirements.

We offer our services to clients seeking support in reviewing and refining the design of an existing project or those needing assistance in developing a proposal.

ISC's team of experts brings extensive experience and skills in developing proposals for major donors such as USAID, PRM, the EU, Global Affairs Canada, The Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights and Labor, and UNICEF while working in Afghanistan and Pakistan.

Our dedication to excellence ensures that our Proposals are well-drafted to meet the highest standards, effectively address our partners' needs, and design programs aligned with community priorities through thorough situational analysis and need assessment.

Evaluation 

At ImpactSphere Consultancy (ISC), we conduct culturally sensitive assessments and evaluations to provide strategic direction for programs. Our approach delivers actionable insights across diverse areas such as Community Services, Family Services, Advocacy, Health, Education, Women Empowerment, and more. We utilize participatory evaluation methods, actively engaging your team to build practical skills for future assessments while minimizing costs.

Our process combines sturdy survey methodologies with firsthand data collection to evaluate program impact, efficiency and effectively. ISC delivers comprehensive reports with actionable recommendations, empowering our partners to strengthen their programs, accurately assess their impact, and drive meaningful, lasting change within the communities they serve. 

Performance Quality Improvement 

Most Canadian organizations are now considering the Performance Quality Improvement (PQI) process over traditional Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E). The PQI approach helps non-profit organizations and civil societies enhance the quality of their services, leading to the best possible outcomes and positive, long-lasting changes for their clients.

The primary purpose of PQI is to assess the impact and results of programs and continuously improve service quality. This process ensures that our partners make evidence-based progress in their service delivery, holding themselves accountable to funders, stakeholders, and communities while embedding transparency within the organization. 

Conducting Baseline / Mid-line & End-line Surveys

ISC conducts baseline, mid-line, and end-line surveys across diverse sectors, utilizing years of expertise and a standardized methodology for reliable data collection. With a 95% confidence level and a ±5% margin of error, we ensure accuracy in survey design.

Our end-line surveys include qualitative methods, such as focus group discussions and key informant interviews with your stakeholders, to capture valuable insights. This comprehensive approach enables precise evaluations, empowering clients to measure project impact and make informed decisions for future initiatives.

Capture Lessons Learned to Drive Program Success and Improvement

At ISC, we help organizations capture valuable lessons learned from their programs and interventions. Our approach focuses on assessing and understanding your program's achievements, successes, challenges, and mitigation strategies. We provide clear, actionable recommendations to enhance program quality by identifying what worked well and what did not. This enables your organization to build on successes, address challenges effectively, and prioritize strategies that drive meaningful, sustainable improvement. 

Enhance Your Organization’s Success with Comprehensive SWOC Analysis

At ISC, we have an extensive expertise to help your organization conduct a thorough Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Challenges (SWOC) analysis.

Our structured approach identifies internal strengths and external challenges, offering actionable insights for informed strategic decisions. By engaging stakeholders, analyzing data, and examining internal and external dynamics, we provide a comprehensive understanding of your organization’s current position.
