Research & Analytics
Policy-relevant intelligence at the point where evidence meets the decision-maker.
We produce research that is not only analytically sound but operationally actionable, combining quantitative rigour with qualitative depth and political economy awareness across all of Astellic's thematic domains.
Our Research & Analytics sub-unit is Astellic's primary engine of evidence production. It conducts primary and secondary research across the firm's thematic domains, specialising in applied policy research, sector systems analysis, political economy analysis, programme evaluations, institutional diagnostics, and rapid evidence synthesis. What distinguishes us is the production of research positioned at the precise point where evidence meets the decision-maker, calibrated for action, not academic convention.
Primary Data Collection & Analysis
Quantitative surveys, qualitative fieldwork, and mixed-methods studies across health, governance, education, and climate domains, producing datasets that are analytically robust and operationally actionable.
Political Economy Analysis
Structured PEA to map power dynamics, incentive structures, and institutional constraints, giving policy and reform teams the contextual intelligence to design interventions that survive in practice.
Sector Systems & Policy Analysis
In-depth analysis of how systems perform, where they fail, and what constrains them, applied across health systems, public sector governance, social services, and climate and agricultural systems.
Landscape Assessments & Institutional Diagnostics
Rapid and comprehensive reviews of sector landscapes, institutional capacity, and system performance, providing the foundational intelligence for programme design and reform planning.
Rapid Evidence Synthesis
Short-turnaround literature reviews, policy environment analyses, and evidence scans, commissioned by donors, governments, and INGOs within tight timelines without sacrificing analytical rigour.
