About Aquitas
Aquitas Consulting is an applied research and evaluation practice. We specialise in MEAL (Monitoring, Evaluation, Accountability & Learning), impact evaluation and social research for organisations working on sustainable development, ESG and responsible value chains.
We typically work alongside the organisations that design and implement projects on the ground, bringing independent, methodologically rigorous evaluation and research to their programmes. Implementation sits with our partners; our role stays evaluation and research, which keeps our findings credible to funders, partners and the communities the work is meant to serve.
Our approach combines social research, policy insight and field-based evaluation practice. We help funders and implementing partners understand what is actually working, for whom, and why, and turn that understanding into learning that improves the next phase of a programme.
What We Do
Everything we do sits under one discipline: evaluating and understanding development, ESG and value-chain initiatives with rigour. In practice, that spans three connected areas of work.
Monitoring, Evaluation, Accountability & Learning
We design and run MEAL systems and impact evaluations for development, ESG and value-chain programmes, from baseline to endline, for funders, implementing partners and community initiatives.
Applied Social & Qualitative Research
Interviews, participatory methods and mixed-methods field research that surface what quantitative data alone cannot: lived experience, local knowledge and the realities of communities and value chains.
Impact Frameworks, Learning & Dissemination
We turn evaluation findings into results frameworks, learning processes and reporting that funders, partners and communities can actually use to steer and improve their work.
