Services

TADBEER will engage in three main areas of work: research, consultancy and capacity building.

TADBEER aims to conduct tangible, comprehensive and results-oriented surveys, interviews, cost-benefit analyses, socio-economic assessments, evaluations, appraisals and impact assessments. TADBEER’s methodology will be different because it will be guided by a participatory, inclusive approach in order to elicit genuine Afghan voices. The research agenda will be driven by a focus on producing actionable, policy-informing quality research that reflects Afghan realities. TADBEER’s research will provide practical and actionable recommendations, and not simply theory.

TADBEER will also provide consultancy services to policy makers, whether government officials, donors, or the broader community of development actors. These services will aim to improve policy by strategy formulation which will be supported by developing robust monitoring and evaluation within a local context. These consultancy services will apply the research knowledge in a policy environment. A specific example of such consultancy services is a contribution to the development of strategies for the Afghan government ministries.

TADBEER will work to pass on the skill sets and aptitudes for sustainable development through training and capacity building, targeted to the needs of its clients and their environment. TADBEER’s methodology will focus on experiential learning and we will work closely with our clients to arrive at the right blend of knowledge, skills and attitudes that will equip a new generation of development experts with just the right tools to succeed.

Specifically, areas in which TADBEER specializes and will provide its services include:

• Conceptualizing and design of development, governance and livelihoods initiatives.
• Strategy development for governmental and non-governmental organizations.
• Impact evaluation studies.
• Conducting baseline surveys (including data collection, analysis and presentation).
• Customized, practitioner-targeted trainings in development, governance and management.
• Economic analysis, sub-sector studies and business plan development.
