Since 2014
Broadline is an independent research and evaluation firm working from Mogadishu, Dar es Salaam and Nairobi. For twelve years our clients have been governments, donors, UN agencies and the partners who deliver in East and the Horn of Africa.
National household surveys, facility samples and needs assessments in fragile, remote and politically sensitive places. Security mapping, access negotiation and refusal management are part of the sampling plan, never an afterthought.
Local enumerator networks, instruments tested in the respondent's language, community entry done properly. Fieldwork designed for the actual conditions of delivery: security, logistics, language and respondent burden.
Every engagement runs one documented pipeline: peer reviewed sample frame, cognitively tested instruments, supervised collection with geo-tagging and audio audit, daily high frequency checks and back-checks above ten percent.
A named principal owns every assignment from kick-off to handover. Field decisions, data calls and client communication run through one accountable person, not a rotating bench.
Clean datasets, replicable code and reports an external evaluator could audit, delivered to ministries, donor boards and multilateral partners. That is the deliverable, every time.
Sample design and fieldwork. Programme evaluation. Independent verification. Diagnostic assessment. Modern data engineering. Held under one roof.
National-scale household, facility and enterprise surveys in fragile and data-scarce contexts, from sample frame to clean, labelled dataset.
Independent baseline, midline, endline and impact evaluations aligned to OECD-DAC, UNEG and major donor evaluation policies.
Independent verification where access is constrained and results go to a board, parliament, donor capital or auditor.
Needs, market, feasibility and rapid analyses scoped backwards from the decision they are commissioned to inform.
Registries, dashboards, geospatial analysis and durable data governance: the full pipeline from instrument to insight.
