what our clients say about insideout
"insideout recently conducted an evaluation of MiET's Learn about healthy living programme. They conducted the evaluation in an extremely professional manner and were also very pleasant to work with. They were flexible in their approach and were willing to go the extra mile when required. The genuine interest they took in the work that MiET is engaged in was greatly valued. We will not hesitate to use their services again and highly recommend them to others."
Director: Training and HIV/AIDS Programmes, Media in Education Trust (MiET)
"I have experienced
insideout
to be committed to the provision of services of a high
quality, as well as the use of methods that are participatory,
and driven by the need to provide products that are
of use to the various stakeholders involved."
Director: Criminal Justice Initiative, Open Society Foundation
"insideout
was commissioned by the Alliance for Children's Entitlement
to Social Security (ACESS) in 2003 to develop and conduct
our organisational and programme evaluation. The fact
that it is now 2005 and we are still commissioning
insideout
to do our evaluations speaks volumes for the tremendous
quality work that they do. They are consummate professionals
and their team has always worked in close consultation
with us at all times so as to ensure that at the end
of the day we have ended up with reliable, credible
and valuable evaluation reports which are truly reflective
of the work and progress that Alliance for Children’s
Entitlement to Social Security has made. The proof of
the value of the evaluations run by
insideout
lies in the fact that the evaluation results have served
as the foundation for the annual reviews and revisions
of our organisational and programme work - and those
revision exercises have been the primary reason for
Alliance for Children’s Entitlement to Social Security's
continued strength and relevance. Without the sound
foundation provided by our evaluations, we would not
have been able to take these decisive and constructive
steps forward."

Monitoring and Evaluation Officer, Foundation for Contemporary
Research
"It is with the utmost confidence that I can recommend
insideout
as research consultants. The researchers conduct themselves
professionally, displaying a high level of expertise
and understanding. We have made use of their services
to conduct evaluations over a range of services - the
final products informing and enhancing the work that
we do. Working with this competent team has been an
absolute pleasure."
Research and Information Coordinator, NICRO
"The assignment was conducted with a high level of professionalism and integrity and
insideout
displayed excellent understanding of training in a public
sector environment. Given the quality of the work conducted
by
insideout
as well as the productive working relationship that
was established, they can be recommended for research
work, specifically for impact assessments."
Deputy Director General, South African Management Development
Institute (SAMDI)
" insideout has been assisting the previous SAMDI and currently PALAMA, with the design and delivery of short courses on M&E during the past two years. Given the quality of service SAMDI extended their contract in 2007 to undertake additional work on its M&E capacity building programme. Natasha Nel and Kerstin Waddell are seasoned M&E professionals who understand the mandate and delivery agenda of government. I would highly recommend them for any M&E related contract in government."
