Successful initiatives rely on consulting the people impacted by the issues at hand.

Research is an essential skill that anyone can learn, from inception to completion. Many employees and students have experience with research, whether primary or secondary. We offer refresher training for seasoned researchers and comprehensive training for those new to the field. Instead of hiring a consultant, we empower your team with the skills to conduct research themselves, fostering ownership of the outcomes and inspiring implementation of results. Our training covers:

• Introduction to research methodologies and approaches
• Designing and implementing successful research projects
• Qualitative data collection methods (interviewing, focus groups, observations, literature reviews, etc.)
• Ethical considerations in research
• Data analysis and research report writing
• Best practices for research dissemination and communication

New projects continuously emerge to address evolving human needs or existing problems. Effective project execution requires skilled planning, design, implementation, management, monitoring, and evaluation. Our training equips organizations, whether for-profit or non-profit, with the strategies needed to drive their initiatives. We specialize in:

• Project planning, management, implementation, and evaluation training
• Facilitating strategic planning meetings and development
• NGO management and leadership training
• Grant writing, management training, fundraising, and donor networking

Leveraging our extensive networks and expertise, we provide guest lectures and seminars across various topics in both academic and non-academic settings. Collaborating with practitioners, scholars, activists, policymakers, and leaders, we deliver engaging lectures and facilitate workshops on:

• Peace building and reconciliation
• Gender justice
