At Shrewd (TZ) Associates, we provide robust Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) solutions that help organizations measure performance, assess impact, and strengthen accountability. Our services are designed to meet the requirements of government institutions, NGOs, donor-funded projects, and private sector organizations operating in Tanzania.
Designing M&E Systems and Research Protocols
We develop tailored M&E frameworks that track performance indicators and measure outcomes effectively. Our team designs research protocols and supports quantitative, qualitative, and mixed-methods studies, ensuring that evidence collected is reliable and actionable.
Knowledge Management and Data Quality
We create knowledge management tools that capture lessons learned and support continuous improvement. Using digital platforms such as KoboToolbox, ODK, and CommCare, we manage surveys and ensure high standards of data quality. Our services also include cleaning and organizing datasets for accurate analysis and secure storage.
Capacity Building and Organizational Assessments
Shrewd provides training on M&E frameworks, digital data collection, and reporting to strengthen institutional capacity. We conduct organizational assessments and performance reviews, helping institutions identify strengths, address gaps, and improve efficiency.
Impact Evaluations and Policy Support
We carry out impact evaluations that generate evidence for decision-making and facilitate learning from results. Our team assists with policy and strategy development by translating findings into practical recommendations, ensuring that evidence informs governance and program design.
Data Visualization and Reporting
To enhance decision-making, we design interactive dashboards and visualizations using Power BI, Tableau, DHIS2, and GIS tools. We also support donor reporting with high-quality M&E documentation, ensuring compliance with funding requirements and national standards.
Knowledge Dissemination and Publications
Beyond reporting, we help organizations communicate findings through policy briefs, infographics, and stakeholder workshops. We also guide the development of manuscripts and support publication in reputable journals, ensuring that research contributes to both local and global knowledge.
