Why Plan-Eval

What Sets Us Apart

In-house Evaluation Experts and Vetted Consultant Network

We are a global team combining thematic depth with local insight. Our senior in-house experts work alongside a trusted network of 400+ consultants, trained in Plan-Eval's evaluation standards and rigorously vetted for ethics and references.

User-Oriented Evaluation Approaches

We take a coordinated approach to gathering, tracking, and assessing data. This unified system guarantees consistent, high-quality evidence for timely decision-making in client programmes across all our areas of expertise.

Peer-Reviewed Evaluations

Peer review is a core component of our ISO 9001-certified quality management system, reinforcing the credibility, rigour, and coherence of our evaluations. Before submission to clients, an external expert reviews draft reports and provides written and oral feedback to key team members to ensure high-quality deliverables.

Project Management in Complex Environments

With extensive experience in challenging environments—from tropical forests to conflict zones, urban peripheries, and isolated rural communities—we bring resilience, adaptability, and structured methodologies to every programme.

Integrated Data Collection, Monitoring and Evaluation Capabilities

Our evaluation methods are built around the needs of intended users. We produce relevant insights to inform governance, strengthen programmes, and enable learning where evidence must translate into decisions.

Cross-Cultural and Multilingual Capacity

Our team works fluently in English, French, Portuguese, and Spanish, ensuring seamless communication and culturally sensitive engagement across regions.
