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." Director, Alliance for Children’s Entitlement to Social Security

"The evaluation was conducted in a highly professional manner... the firm was pleasant to work with and a real asset to the IDP planning team." IDP Co-ordinator, Stellenbosch municipality

"Thank you for your cooperation and excellent service? thank you for a lively, clear and fun session on a topic that is normally so dry! You will be happy to know that your session was rated as the most useful and enjoyable [of the five day conference]." Programme Specialist: Africa Desk, Bernard van Leer Foundation

"insideout 's meticulous attention to detail and insightful thinking on issues of the evaluation... adds value to our work." 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." Director DDG: Business Development, Public Administration Leadership and Management Academy

"The insideout research team did a professional and thorough job on the evaluation. They demonstrated sensitivity and care with grantee questions and concerns, and exhibited a comprehensive and nuanced understanding of the development sector in South Africa. I recommend insideout with enthusiasm. Former Program Director, South Africa, Rockefeller Brothers Fund
