At EDI Global we are committed to providing high-quality research that tackles the most pressing development challenges of our time. With a focus on issues such as poverty reduction, climate change, energy access, agriculture, social protection, nutrition, gender, and more, we conduct rigorous research to generate actionable insights and solutions to complex problems. Through our research, we strive to identify and address the root causes of these challenges and to identify innovative solutions to drive progress. Our research is not only academically sound but also relevant and applicable to real-world challenges and policy implementation.
Our team of researchers has the expertise and knowledge to conduct rigorous and comprehensive research, using both quantitative and qualitative methodologies.
With extensive experience in applied economics and social science research, we are proficient in using state-of-the-art statistical and econometric methods. We tailor our research designs to meet the specific needs of each project, including descriptive research, field experiments, quasi-experimental and experimental impact evaluations, mixed methods, and systematic reviews. Our approach allows us to provide reliable and accurate analyses of complex data, ensuring that our partners receive the highest quality research outputs.
In addition to our statistical capabilities, we provide qualitative research services utilising focus groups, in-depth interviews, thematic analysis, and case studies. These methods offer deeper insights into the social, economic and political context, and provide a richer and more nuanced understanding than what numerical data alone can provide.
We believe that truly impactful research must be grounded in the unique context of the communities with whom we work. Our team of researchers has extensive experience of working in a variety of local contexts, from rural to urban, and we understand that research must be conducted by paying special attention to the unique challenges and sensitivities of the context, particularly in fragile and conflict-affected countries. Our research approach is flexible and adaptive, allowing us to respond to changing environments and to incorporate local knowledge and expertise into every project we undertake.
We are committed to transparency and high ethical standards as we recognise their essential role in producing reliable and credible research outcomes. We adhere to strict ethical guidelines in all our research projects and we ensure our methodologies are transparent and rigorous.
We understand that transparency is critical in building trust with research participants, our partners and stakeholders. We provide clear communication at every stage of the research process, from design to analysis and reporting.
We disseminate our findings through a variety of channels, including academic publications, policy briefs, blogs, and academic and policy conferences. Whether we are communicating with policymakers, practitioners, community members, or researchers, we use a variety of communication tools to ensure that our research is understood and that its findings are applied.
