AnthroConsultancy works with organisations and individuals who understand that good intentions are not enough, that the quality of the research behind a program determines the quality of its impact. We are selective about the partnerships we take on, because deep advisory work requires genuine alignment.
International NGOs and Development Agencies
You are running programs in complex, often fragile environments. You know that research designed without cultural and contextual grounding produces findings that look good on paper but fail in the field. You need a thinking partner who has been in those environments, not a consultant who reads about them.
We work with NGO teams at every stage of the programme cycle: from initial research design and ethics clearance, through data collection quality assurance, to final evaluation and results presentation. We understand what it means to work under donor timelines, across multiple stakeholders, and in settings where standard Western research frameworks do not translate.
Foundations and Grant-Making Bodies
You fund important work. You also carry the responsibility of ensuring that the organisations you support can demonstrate what they have achieved — rigorously, credibly, and in ways that satisfy your reporting requirements and your board.
We support foundations in two ways: as an evaluation partner for your grantees, helping them build the M&E capacity to meet your standards; and as a strategic advisory resource when you need an independent senior perspective on research protocols, evaluation designs, or programme logic models.
Government and Public Health Agencies
Public health research operates at the intersection of scientific rigour, political accountability, and community trust. Errors in design or gaps in data quality have consequences that extend far beyond any single programme. You need advisors who understand that weight.
We bring medical anthropology and public health research experience to government and public health contexts, including ethics clearance navigation, community-based research design, and evaluation of health behaviour change programs across low- to middle-income settings.
Academic Researchers: PhD and MSc Level
Your research is your own. You need someone who will challenge your thinking, sharpen your methodology, and hold you to the highest standards of scholarly rigour, not someone who will do the work for you.
Our academic mentorship offer is coaching and review only. We do not write, develop, or edit research on behalf of researchers. What we do is sit with you in the complexity of your work and help you find your way through it, drawing on decades of field research experience and formal academic training across anthropology, public health, and metaphysics.
Not sure whether we are the right fit for your work?
The Discovery Conversation exists precisely for that question.
