01 / HEALTH
Health
Public health, reproductive and maternal health, disease prevention, service access, community health and health-system performance.
Sector knowledge that strengthens the research.
We work across the development sectors where programme context, service systems and community realities directly shape what should be asked, who should be reached and how evidence should be interpreted.
SECTORS SERVED
Six core sectors where Research360 supports research and evaluation.
Our core sector work covers Health, Education, WASH, Agriculture & Food Systems, Gender & Inclusion, and Climate & Environment.
02 / EDUCATION
Education
Access, retention, learning outcomes, teacher performance, curriculum reform, skills development and transitions from school to work.
03 / WASH
Water, Sanitation & Hygiene
Water and sanitation access, hygiene behaviour, service sustainability and WASH in schools, rural settings and humanitarian contexts.
04 / AGRICULTURE
Agriculture & Food Systems
Farmer support, agricultural inputs, food production, nutrition, market access, smallholder resilience and rural transformation.
05 / GENDER & INCLUSION
Gender & Inclusion
Gender norms and power, GBV, disability inclusion, participation, equitable access and differential programme outcomes.
06 / CLIMATE
Climate & Environment
Climate vulnerability and adaptation, natural-resource governance, community resilience and locally led environmental responses.
CROSS-CUTTING THEMES
Issues that move across sectors.
Some research questions do not sit neatly inside one sector. These themes often shape the sampling, safeguarding, analysis and programme decisions across our work.
01
Livelihoods & Employment
Household welfare, income, skills, informal economies, enterprise, labour-market transitions and economic resilience.
02
Youth & Adolescents
Participation, wellbeing, education, SRHR, skills, transitions, aspirations and access to opportunity.
03
Governance & Accountability
Citizen experience, trust, public services, civic participation, transparency and accountability in programme delivery.
04
Protection & Safeguarding
Protection risks, sensitive disclosures, referral pathways, safe participation and safeguarding systems for vulnerable groups.
05
Migration & Displacement
Migration drivers, refugee and host-community needs, mobility, access to services and displacement-related vulnerability.
06
Food Security & Nutrition
Food access, household vulnerability, nutrition behaviours, programme reach and resilience to economic or climate shocks.
LIVELIHOODS & SOCIAL PROTECTION
Livelihoods research grounded in household realities.
We examine household welfare, income, work, vulnerability, market access and coping strategies to understand how economic conditions shape programme outcomes.
WHY SECTOR KNOWLEDGE MATTERS
Context changes the way a study should be designed.
Sector expertise is useful only when it improves the research itself. We use it to sharpen the question, reach the right participants and interpret evidence against the systems people actually navigate.
01
Frame the right question
Translate programme objectives into research questions and indicators that reflect the actual service, behaviour or outcome being studied.
02
Reach the right people
Sampling and recruitment account for programme eligibility, service pathways, mobility, vulnerability and hard-to-reach populations.
03
Adapt tools to context
Language, concepts, consent processes and response options are tested against local understanding rather than assumed from generic instruments.
04
Interpret evidence usefully
Findings are read against programme design, service constraints and implementation realities so recommendations can be acted on.
HOW CLIENTS ENGAGE US
Sector expertise can enter at different points in the research cycle.
We can lead the full study, provide specialist field implementation, or support one defined component of a wider programme or evaluation.
