Transforming Systems Through Research and Evaluation
At Relational Ground, we believe that research is more than data collection, it’s a tool for transformation. We design and implement mixed-methods research and evaluation strategies that strengthen health systems, center relational well-being, and drive meaningful change.
Our approach goes beyond measuring outcomes. We focus on why programs work, how relationships shape those outcomes, and what’s needed to sustain and scale success. Whether supporting NGOs, academic centers, or ministries of health, we deliver insights that guide decision-making and improve lives.
Our Services
Mixed-Methods Research
We integrate quantitative data (surveys, clinical metrics, dashboards) with qualitative insights (interviews, focus groups, community narratives) to provide a complete picture of impact.
Examples: Population-based surveys, participatory research, implementation assessments.
Outcomes: Clear evidence to guide funding, programming, and policy decisions.
Evaluation Design & Monitoring Frameworks
Our team builds monitoring and evaluation (M&E) systems that are practical, scalable, and aligned with real-world needs.
Continuous learning cycles
Gender and masculinity-sensitive indicators
Accessible reporting for stakeholders and funders
Implementation Science
We bridge the gap between research and practice, ensuring that interventions are adaptable, efficient, and grounded in evidence.
Rapid-cycle testing for new health programs
Strategies to sustain impact over time
Integration of relational and gender-transformative metrics
Why Our Approach Works
Relational Lens: We measure both individual outcomes and the quality of relationships and systems supporting them.
Gender and Masculinity Metrics: Tools designed to capture men’s experiences, especially where traditional measures fall short.
Action-Oriented: Our findings are practical and implementable, driving real-world improvements.
