Lead consultancy
End-to-end responsibility for methodology, inception, fieldwork, analysis, reporting, validation and final deliverables.
For clients and partners
A dependable Ethiopia partner from proposal to final delivery.
GRC supports organisations that need credible evidence, reliable field implementation and clear professional communication in Ethiopia. We can work as a lead consultant, national research partner, fieldwork partner or specialist member of a wider team.

Flexible roles. Clear accountability.
The right engagement model depends on the assignment. GRC can take responsibility for a complete study or deliver a defined Ethiopia workstream within a larger regional or global programme.
Country research partner
Ethiopia implementation for multi-country studies, including localisation, recruitment, field coordination, data collection and country inputs.
Fieldwork partner
Survey, qualitative and mixed-method field implementation under agreed protocols, supervision arrangements and quality controls.
Specialist technical support
Focused support in evaluation, sampling, KoboToolbox, data management, qualitative research, analysis, facilitation or institutional development.
Procurement readiness
What you can expect during an RFQ, RFP or consultancy process.
International procurement often depends on speed, clarity and comparability. GRC structures responses so that technical approach, staffing, level of effort, field assumptions and costs can be reviewed without unnecessary ambiguity.
- Technical response: understanding of the assignment, methodology, sampling, data collection, analysis, quality assurance, ethics, risks and work plan.
- Financial response: transparent professional fees and assignment costs aligned with the requested pricing format.
- Team documentation: role descriptions and CVs matched to the technical requirements.
- Corporate documentation: applicable legal, tax and company documents can be provided when requested in a procurement process.
- Clarification: assumptions and information gaps are identified before they become delivery problems.
