Capabilities

How we generate evidence on change.

Studying adaptation requires the full research chain, from design through fieldwork to analysis and reporting. These capabilities are held in-house and applied in the combination each study requires.

Research Capabilities

Capabilities are selected according to the research question, the data available, and the setting — with quantitative and qualitative methods routinely combined within a single study of how a system is changing.
