Yes. We maintain trained enumerator networks across the regions where we operate, with context-specific access strategies, remote-monitoring options, and third-party verification protocols where physical access is constrained.
Both. Every engagement can include structured handover: tool libraries, analysis syntax, dashboard training, and coaching for your MEAL staff — so the capability stays with you after we leave.
Transparent, activity-based budgets: professional fees, field costs, and logistics are itemised separately so you can see exactly where resources go. Fixed-price, time-and-materials, and framework-agreement models are all available.
