About the firm
A consulting partner for decisions that need evidence.
Research Solutions combines policy knowledge, analytical methods, field experience and practical planning expertise in one multidisciplinary team.
Built to take an assignment from the first question to a usable result.
14th July Research Solutions was incorporated as a limited liability company in 2020 to provide consultancy services to public institutions, civil society organisations, development partners and private sector clients.
We work across development policy, strategic planning, monitoring and evaluation, socioeconomic research, local economic development, community engagement, database design and quality improvement planning.
Our teams support scoping, consultation, tool development, fieldwork, analysis, validation, reporting and presentation. The objective is not simply to complete a report, but to give the client evidence, systems and recommendations that can be used.
