Selected research & analytical projects

Applied research, analytics, evaluation and evidence work across health, development, finance and humanitarian contexts.

This section presents selected examples of how methodological and analytical capabilities have been applied to real research and organisational questions.

Projects overview

A selected portfolio organised around six project categories

These categories provide a practical view of the work and are not intended to represent the complete portfolio.

Quantitative & socioeconomic analysis

Financial Inclusion Analytics

This project area applies quantitative analysis to questions concerning financial inclusion, digital finance, FinTech, financial behaviour and socioeconomic conditions. It can draw on secondary data analysis and statistical modelling, connecting applied questions with the existing scholarly record in finance and FinTech without treating publications as project deliverables.

  • Financial inclusion
  • Digital finance & FinTech
  • Financial behaviour
  • Socioeconomic analysis
  • Secondary data analysis
  • Statistical modelling

Population & health evidence

WHO Public Health Research

WHO-funded public-health research in Kenya examined community trust, misinformation and conspiracy theories, adherence to COVID-19 public-health guidance, and vaccine uptake. The analytical contribution included quantitative analysis, interpretation, visualisation and an interactive R Shiny dashboard for evidence discovery and dissemination.

  • Quantitative research
  • Public-health data analysis
  • Epidemiological analysis
  • Secondary data analysis
  • Statistical modelling
  • Research reporting

Analytical methods for health questions

Machine Learning Health Decision Support

A 2025 health analytics project used Python, statistical modelling, machine-learning model development, validation and performance monitoring to translate analytical output into a web-based decision-support demonstration. It is not presented as a clinical diagnostic or treatment system.

  • Health-data analysis
  • Predictive modelling
  • Machine learning
  • Model validation
  • Interpretation
  • Evidence-informed decision support

Programme & project evidence

Selected Evaluation Projects

Selected engagements include a national HPV vaccination programme review, multi-county vaccine-hesitancy research, trachoma prevalence surveys in South Sudan, and research on gender, displacement and healthcare access. Methods and claims remain bounded by each study design and evidence base.

  • Process evaluation
  • Outcome evaluation
  • Programme-performance assessment
  • Pre/post assessment
  • Comparative evaluation
  • Impact evaluation where supported

Assessment cycle

Baseline & Endline Assessments

Baseline studies establish programme conditions and indicator values before or near the start of implementation. Endline studies revisit those measures to examine change and programme performance. Selected work includes the Kajiado maternal and newborn health baseline, Child.org’s Pregnant Women’s Group RMNCH endline, and Amref RMNCH service-provision research.

  • Establish programme conditions
  • Measure agreed indicators
  • Compare change over implementation periods
  • Assess programme performance
  • Inform learning and programme decisions

Development & humanitarian contexts

NGO & Development Research Consultancies

Applied research and analytical consulting has spanned selected health, humanitarian, displacement and programme-research engagements. Designs were shaped by each organisation’s question, setting and available evidence rather than a predetermined package.

How projects are approached

A clear route from the research question to useful decision support

The exact workflow depends on the project type, scope, evidence available and decisions the work needs to support.

    Methodological Design

  3. 03

    Data / Evidence

  4. 04

Methods used across projects

Methods selected for the question—not a generic tools catalogue

Established research, analytical, synthesis and evaluation methods may be combined where appropriate to the project design.

  • Research design
  • Quantitative research
  • Mixed-methods research
  • Statistical analysis
  • Statistical modelling
  • Secondary data analysis
  • Machine learning where appropriate
  • Evidence synthesis
  • Programme evaluation
  • Monitoring, Evaluation & Learning
  • Data visualisation

Project domains

Substantive settings for selected and potential applications

These are domains across which selected work has been undertaken or in which the methods may be applied; they are not claims that every approach is suitable in every setting.

  • Public Health
  • Clinical & Health Research
  • Financial Inclusion & FinTech
  • Development Economics
  • Humanitarian Research
  • Monitoring, Evaluation & Learning
  • Data Science & Analytics

Projects & scholarly work

Applied work can connect with several forms of research evidence

Depending on its purpose and scope, an applied project may contribute to a peer-reviewed publication, research report, analytical output, programme evidence, or policy and decision-support material. Not every project results in a publication.

Projects & services

Combine service areas around the evidence need

Project implementation may bring together multiple service families depending on the question, methods, data and intended use.
