- Implementation reality (barriers + enablers)
- Beneficiary experience (service quality)
- Findings → action plan (practical fixes)
- Board-ready summary for leadership
Rapid Diagnostic (7–14 days)

- Recommendations + 90-day action plan

Start with a Rapid Diagnostic.
Quick clarity, clean scope, and a defensible plan. Send your programme brief, number of sites, and the decision leadership must make. Then we do the study that fits reality—not fantasy.
What you get (the credibility pack).
Not just a report. A deliverable set you can hand to funders, auditors, and internal governance without panic: clear methodology, clean annexures, traceable tables, and recommendations written in operational language.
FAQ
The questions people ask right before they sign. The answers that prevent scope fights later.
What types of evaluations does Bogoni deliver?
Baselines and endlines, process and outcome evaluations, mixed-methods studies, and rapid diagnostics—scoped for funders, boards, and implementation teams.
What is the difference between a process evaluation and an outcome evaluation?
Process evaluation tests implementation reality (what was delivered, where it broke, why it varied). Outcome evaluation tests results (what changed, for whom, and whether the change is credible to claim).
Do you do mixed-methods studies?
Yes. We combine quantitative surveys/secondary data with qualitative interviews, focus groups, and document reviews—then triangulate findings for defendable conclusions.
Can you work with our existing MERL/M&E framework?
Yes. We align tools, sampling, indicators, and reporting tables to your existing MERL/M&E framework and donor requirements—without breaking what already works.
How fast is the Rapid Diagnostic?
Typically 7–14 days, depending on access to documents, stakeholders, and sites. The goal is quick clarity, a clean scope, and an actionable 90-day plan.
