Design

Elm offers a range of design services tailored to your institution’s needs. We engage relevant stakeholders in the design process from start to finish, creating truly participatory programs, tools, policies, and frameworks.

Policies

Elm is available to support you throughout the policy cycle. This  includes identification of the issue and agenda setting, formulation of policy, implementation, and evaluation. Elm also recognizes the crucial role of stakeholder engagement and buy-in throughout the policy process.

Project proposals 

Elm has extensive experience creating project proposals to generate new business and attract funding. We ensure we understand your core value proposition to make sure the right message is conveyed to internal and external project stakeholders.

Program interventions

Our program intervention designs are human-centered, research-based, and contextualized the realities of the communities being served. Elm works closely with partners and community members to design impactful, predictive, and agile interventions to address the difficult problems in education and labor markets.

Data collection tools

Valid and reliable quantitative and qualitative data collection instruments are vital for ensuring the integrity of research. As researchers, Elm can design your interview, focus group, survey, and observation protocols. At Elm, we are skilled in developing complex survey designs, which are valued for our effective and efficient study frameworks. Our survey questions, which we offer in Arabic and English, are designed to address key research objectives without compromising their intent and integrity.

Monitoring and evaluation (M&E) frameworks

Programs need to have robust systems of evaluation in place to ensure that resources are effectively allocated. At Elm, we design M&E frameworks and identify relevant indicators to track and support program implementation, ongoing improvement, and evaluation

Strategies

In a rapidly changing world, strategy is vital. Elm offers creative solutions to help education organizations across geographies develop and execute successful strategies.
