About ImpactLoop 

ImpactLoop was founded in 2022 to bridge the gap between academic and applied research in international development. Headquartered in London, we draw on a network of  researchers and development practitioners across Europe, Africa, Latin America and Asia. We harness digital tools to leverage partnerships with consultants and organisations around the globe. The name ImpactLoop underlines our core mission; to ensure that the results of our research come full circle and are beneficial to all stakeholders involved. 

ImpactLoop specialises in rigorous impact evaluations (experimental or quasi-experimental). We also offer other types of quantitative and qualitative evaluations, needs assessments, and applied research including meta-analysis, evidence and gap maps, and literature reviews. We collect and analyse mixed-methods data, and develop results-based monitoring systems. We offer all of our services with the aim of strengthening evidence-based policymaking and evidence-based programmatic learning for our clients.

​

Our work is underpinned by learning loops, and an adaptable, participatory, and inclusive research approach. We wish to cultivate a culture of evaluations that is based on respect, cultural diversity, participation and empowerment through knowledge and evidence.

Our clients include international development organisations, federal ministries, research institutes, and NGOs.
