Our work

Elm Consulting is an educational research and international development consultancy. We collaborate with partners on research, evaluation, design and implementation to ensure high-quality, relevant outcomes. We provide services in both English and Arabic to a range of clients, including educational organizations, governments, multilateral organizations, and NGOs.
In Arabic, Elm (علم) means knowledge, which is central to the individual and collective advancement of communities. We recognize that pursuing knowledge is a lifelong exercise that is vital for impactful research, successful programming, and sustainable long-term development projects.
Elm is composed of a diverse team of researchers, strategists, and subject matter experts who have a wide range of international experience, with particularly in-depth knowledge of the education and labor market sectors in the Middle East and North Africa. Our human-centered approach ensures that we understand clients' challenges and allows us to provide innovative research designs and tailored programmatic solutions.
Headquartered in the United Arab Emirates, Elm also has staff based in the United Kingdom.
