SECTOR

Gender & Social Protection

Research, data and evaluation experience applied to real-world development challenges.

OUR EXPERIENCE

Research that puts people, opportunity and inclusion at the centre.

PrimeMetrics has experience supporting research on women's empowerment, social protection, livelihoods, youth employment, adolescent girls and vulnerable populations. Our core team's work has included studies designed to understand whether social and economic programmes are reaching intended beneficiaries and what difference those programmes make.

The team's experience includes the Nigeria for Women Project, women-focused agricultural finance, women's self-employment, National Social Safety Nets, cash transfer beneficiaries, youth employment and social support programmes, and research involving vulnerable farmers and internally displaced persons.

We recognise that gender and social protection research often requires careful engagement with households and individuals whose circumstances are complex. Our field and data-management systems are designed to support sensitive, structured and high-quality data collection.

What we bring

  • Research design and field implementation
  • Large-scale survey management
  • Quantitative and qualitative data collection
  • Data quality assurance and daily field feedback
  • Monitoring, evaluation and impact assessment
  • Analysis-ready, well-documented datasets
