We bring decades of hands-on field expertise in qualitative and quantitative methodologies to our rigorously designed research and evaluation services. We are passionate about producing forward-thinking and innovative projects which seek to not only expand what research and evaluation mean for the development sector, but also actively shift power. In our work with local and global partners we have defined research questions that focus on the root causes of oppression, and co-designed initiatives using participatory, feminist, and intersectional approaches.
The Torchlight Collective is particularly skilled at and passionate about engaging groups that are typically excluded from the research, such as young people, women, indigenous communities, among others. Ensuring the centrality of their voices in both the process and the findings is at the heart of our work.
