About Us

Firdale Consulting is a team of economists and development professionals that specialises in data management and quantitative monitoring and evaluation for impact investors (foundations and corporates), non-profits and research organisations. We work with clients to establish change pathways, write code to routinely clean data (Python, R and Stata), leverage existing data for analysis, and provide the technology needed to monitor and evaluate impact.

​

Founded in 2016, we have worked with clients across a wide range of sectors including early childhood development, education, HIV/AIDS, public health and the green economy. 

​

Our vision is to work with complex data for good, equip non-profits and funders with tools for data analysis, and contribute to making monitoring and evaluation more rigorous.
