DevRA International provides a comprehensive suite of Qualitative M&E services including qualitative research design, data collection, and analysis. DevRA proposes a rigorous design approach that leads to evidence-based findings that can inform programming and policy decisions. Qualitative work begins with a good design, starting with well-crafted research questions through the implementation, analysis, presentation, and use of the findings. DevRA International begins with a tailored design to each qualitative study including an intentional and well-considered approach to answering critical research questions. The process begins with a clear articulation of the purpose of the inquiry and the research questions. This framework then drives the selection of the sampling approach, data collection methods and tools, analysis, and how findings are communicated and used.
