Method first
Questions, sources, and sampling are written down before any tool goes to the field or any document is requested. Limitations are stated in the report, not hidden in an annex.

Research, Evaluations & Due Diligence
Research, programme evaluations, and due diligence for ministries, development partners, investors, and boards in Uganda — evidence gathered with a stated method and reported so the reader can test it.
Evidence with a method a steering committee can follow.
This work is commissioned when a decision needs evidence: whether a programme delivered what it promised, what a sector looks like on the ground, or whether a business is what it says it is before money changes hands. Kisaka & Company designs the work, gathers the evidence, and writes reports that keep method and finding apart, so a steering committee, a donor, or an investor can see how each conclusion was reached.
We work from your terms of reference: the questions, the geography, and the decision the report must inform. Ethics, consent, data handling, and confidentiality are scoped up front, and independence is confirmed if we also audit the entity. We do not invent datasets, named evaluations, or awards. Ongoing tracking of a live project sits on our project monitoring and training page.
At a glance
What you can expect when Kisaka & Company is appointed to research, evaluate, or review.
Discipline in the field
Enumerators, interviews, and document reviews are supervised and quality-checked. Respondent and company data stay confidential under the terms you set, including donor clauses where they apply.
Decision-ready reporting
Findings are written for the people who must act: boards, ministries, funders, and investors. Tables and narrative reconcile, so a trained reader can test the path from evidence to claim.
Research, evaluation and due diligence services
Illustrative scope — the exact services depend on your questions, the geography, and the ethics or donor rules in the terms of reference. We confirm deliverables in an engagement letter before work begins.
Economic & social research
Studies of households, facilities, markets, or sectors: questions, sampling, tools, and supervised fieldwork, designed so a technical committee can approve the approach before data collection starts.
Discuss scopeProgramme evaluations
Baseline, mid-term, and end-of-programme evaluations against the questions and criteria in your terms of reference, from relevance and effectiveness to efficiency and results.
Discuss scopeDue diligence
Financial and operational due diligence before an investment, acquisition, loan, or grant: the quality of the figures, the balance sheet, tax exposures, and the records behind them, reported to the party who will rely on it.
Discuss scopeAnalysis & reporting
Inception, draft, and final reports plus a briefing note for decision-makers. We state confidence limits and gaps, and keep the method and tools in annexes so a reviewer can reconstruct the work.
Discuss scopeHow we run the engagement
A predictable cycle, so you see the design, the progress, and the draft findings before the final report.
01
Scope & design
We turn the terms of reference into questions, a method, and a note on ethics, data handling, and confidentiality, then seek sign-off before fieldwork or document requests begin.
02
Gather the evidence
We run the fieldwork, interviews, or document review, check quality as we go, and report progress and access problems while there is still time to adjust the plan.
03
Analyse
We clean and analyse the evidence against the agreed questions, document the limitations, and prepare tables a technical reader can reconcile to the source.
04
Report & brief
We issue the draft and final report, walk decision-makers through the findings, and archive the agreed pack under the confidentiality terms in the engagement letter.
Let’s connect
Discuss a study, a programme evaluation, or due diligence ahead of a transaction. We will confirm the questions, the scope, and who may rely on the report before work starts.
