Programme design and adaptation
When teams need evidence to shape a new intervention, refine an existing programme or adjust implementation based on changing context.
Evidence support
Research, Evaluation and Advisory Services.
Gesem Research and Consulting PLC is an Ethiopia-based consulting firm helping development partners, civil society organisations, public institutions and private organisations generate credible evidence and use it for practical decisions.
When this support is useful
Assignments often begin with a decision, not a dataset.
GRC helps clients clarify the evidence they need, choose feasible methods, collect reliable information and translate findings into action.
Accountability and learning
When donors, boards or communities need credible evidence on relevance, effectiveness, efficiency, impact and sustainability.
Data and analysis gaps
When organisations have information but need stronger systems, quality checks, analysis, interpretation and decision-ready presentation.
Institutional decisions
When institutions need evidence to inform strategy, policy, governance, structure, capacity building or resource allocation.
How GRC structures the work
