What We Offer

Monitoring & Evaluation That Holds Up to Scrutiny

Alongside our youth development programmes, REVAMP Africa offers independent monitoring and evaluation services to donors, corporate CSR teams, government agencies and NGOs across Nigeria. Our dedicated MERL unit operates separately from programme implementation, so that our findings are trusted by funders, governments and communities alike.

Over a decade of field delivery has given us practical insight into what social programmes look like on the ground. We bring that experience into every evaluation framework we design, every tool we deploy and every report we produce.

  • Truly independent, with no conflict of interest with implementing partners
  • Field-deployed teams across 28+ states in Nigeria
  • Mixed-methods approach combining quantitative data and qualitative insight
  • Donor-ready reports written for both decision-makers and evaluators
— What We Do

Our Monitoring, Evaluation, Research & Learning Services

From baseline studies to final impact evaluations, our independent MERL services cover every stage of the programme cycle with rigour you can put in a funder report.

Baseline & Endline Studies

Rigorous pre- and post-programme assessments that establish the baseline and quantify change. We design sampling frameworks, deploy enumerators and validate the data before any analysis begins.

Process & Third-Party Monitoring

Independent, real-time tracking of programme implementation against agreed milestones and indicators. We catch delivery gaps early, while there is still time to correct them, rather than in a final report.

Impact Evaluations

Structured summative evaluations that assess whether a programme achieved its intended outcomes, with clear findings and recommendations. Designed to satisfy donor requirements and inform future programme decisions.

Research & Needs Assessment

Primary research that maps community needs, assesses the landscape for a proposed intervention, or fills a knowledge gap a programme needs to address, using qualitative and quantitative methods as appropriate.

Results Framework & M&E System Design

Theory of change, logical frameworks, indicator matrices and data collection systems, developed at programme inception or when an existing framework needs strengthening mid-implementation.

Beneficiary Verification & Field Audits

Independent verification of reported beneficiary numbers and programme reach, a critical service for corporate CSR funders and development agencies who need to confirm that impact claims are accurate.

— How We Work

Our M&E Process:
From Scoping to Learning

Every monitoring and evaluation engagement follows the same rigorous four-stage process. This consistency means our findings are comparable across contexts, and every client gets the same quality of evidence regardless of programme size or geography.

01

Scoping & Framework Design

Define evaluation questions, agree the results framework, select indicators and design the data collection methodology in close consultation with the client and stakeholders.

02

Field Data Collection

Deploy trained enumerators and MERL officers to conduct surveys, focus groups, interviews and observations across target communities, with real-time data validation in place.

03

Analysis & Reporting

Analyse quantitative and qualitative data using appropriate methods, and produce reports in accessible formats, including data visualisations, executive summaries and full technical reports.

04

Learning & Dissemination

Facilitate learning workshops with the client and stakeholders to turn findings into practical programme improvements, and support knowledge-sharing with wider audiences as needed.

Monitoring & Evaluation: Frequently Asked Questions

What is independent monitoring and evaluation?

Independent monitoring and evaluation is the assessment of a programme by an organisation that did not implement it, so findings on reach, outcomes and impact are objective and credible to funders, governments and communities.

Why should M&E be separate from programme delivery?

When implementers evaluate their own work, there is a conflict of interest. REVAMP Africa's MERL unit operates separately from programme implementation, so our only stake is in the evidence.

Do you provide third-party monitoring for donor and government programmes in Nigeria?

Yes. We provide process and third-party monitoring, field audits and beneficiary verification for development agencies, donor-funded projects, government programmes and corporate funders across Nigeria.

Which parts of Nigeria do you cover?

Our field teams can deploy across all six geopolitical zones of Nigeria and have worked in more than 28 states.

Can you verify beneficiary numbers for our CSR programme?

Yes. We independently verify reported beneficiary numbers, programme reach and impact claims so that CSR and ESG reporting stands up to scrutiny.

How long does an evaluation take?

It depends on the scope, sample size and geography of the programme. We agree the timeline with you during the scoping stage.
