Overview
ACAL builds the evidence base. Our M&E frameworks, impact evaluations, and Implementation Completion Reports are trusted by the World Bank, IFAD, and AfDB to determine whether programmes have delivered, and whether they merit continuation, scale-up, or closure. This is advisory where the stakes are highest.
What We Deliver
We conduct primary data collection at scale, household surveys, key informant interviews, field assessments, and institutional reviews. We do not rely on secondary data where primary data is available. Our findings are structured for decision-makers, not for archives.
Key Focus Areas
Household surveys, KIIs, and primary field data collection at scale
Impact evaluations, mid-term reviews, and programme assessments
World Bank-standard Implementation Completion Reports (ICRs)
Independent Verification Agent (IVA) and Independent Evaluation (IE) roles
M&E framework design and performance indicator development
"ACAL's evaluation work set a new standard for evidence quality on this programme. Their findings were credible, rigorous, and directly actionable, exactly what an ICR review panel demands."

Independence & Rigour
When ACAL serves as Independent Evaluator or Verification Agent, our findings are independent. We do not adjust conclusions to satisfy programme managers or political timelines. That independence is precisely why development finance institutions select us, and why our reports are used rather than shelved.
Primary Data at Scale
ACAL deploys field teams across Kenya's 47 counties for large-scale data collection assignments. We design the survey instruments, train the enumerators, manage the data quality protocols, and analyse the results in-house. The entire evidence chai, from field to report, is ours to defend.
