Evaluation, Review and Audit
The WolfGroup and its Team has a proven track record of evaluations and reviews of strategic projects, operations and organizations. We mobilize expertise in realms that include amongst others: communication and advocacy,strategic planning, humanitarian and development programming, human rights, and information management.What we can bring to your evaluation:
- Practical field experience in a broad range of geographical locations and the capacity to comprehend the complexity and range of the environments in which corporate, government, and non-profit actors operate.
- We have substantial experience of working with agencies of the UN, international NGOs and donor bodies, and broad knowledge of their policies, procedures and operations.
- Proven analytical, writing and communication skills – we are committed to producing concise, accessible, evidence-based and actionable reports for our clients.
Our quality assurance system draws on the best practices of the international evaluation community including ALNAP, the OECD-Development Assistance Committee, and the United Nations Evaluation Group Standards. The purpose of quality assurance is to ensure that our consultancy services are provided to our clients at the highest professional level. It includes quality assurance of evaluation reports (inception, draft and final) based on standardized checklists such as ALNAP’s Quality Pro Forma. These mechanisms will ensure that our services, often delivered by a multi-disciplinary team across several countries, are be delivered as a coherent set of activities with consistent and comparable outputs.
We are currently piloting a new approach to conducting evaluations: linking traditional approaches to evaluation with ethnographic film and research. In partnership with visual anthropologist and filmmaker Bruno Moynié and his boutique production studio Monde Moderne, we complement traditional evaluations and reviews with broadcast quality video products that record behaviour, customs, life experiences and narratives of programme staff and beneficiaries. Our belief is that these ethnographic films make for more vibrant and compelling beneficiary/programme stories and are a critical means to facilitate the sharing of our evaluation's results to the client. The final product is a self-contained research film, interactive DVD or embeddable video clips which can be employed by the client with internal and external stakeholders.
