“I had the pleasure of working with M&ESURE in 2020 after they were selected to conduct a review of a South Africa: United Kingdom partnership project through a competitive procurement process. Due to the complex nature of the project and high volume of documents that had to be reviewed and analysed, initially, I was concerned that a consultant would not be able to do justice to the scope, however with M&ESURE I was pleasantly surprised. From the onset, the team assigned to our review was agile and proactive, they attended the first meeting with a preliminary inception report at hand which showed how they had taken their time to read and understand what the project was about. They were deadline driven and always willing to go the extra mile to fulfil all the review obligations. From the start to the end of the review, they consulted with us and our partners regularly, making the process a truly collaborative one.
As the individual who drafted the Terms of reference for the work, I can confidently say that my expectations were exceeded by the M&ESURE team. The team was very approachable, genuine and professional. I was very impressed with the final outputs and would recommend M&ESURE to any organization looking to commission a thorough and professional research or M&E piece.”

“I’m impressed by the attention to detail, the coherence, and the sense- and meaning-making nature of the report. It is a mammoth task to be able to work over the span of more than three years and to keep the project evaluation “ship” pointing in the right direction. I appreciate your focus on evidence, your incisive insights and honesty in pointing out the highs, lows and in-between aspects of the project. As a company, and as individuals, I want to congratulate M&ESURE for being a very professional and responsive company that delivers above and beyond the expectations”

“Following our engagement with the M&ESURE team, the Clinic now possesses clear organisational direction and is well-placed to take decisions regarding alignment of its activities with its organisational objectives. It has also consequently improved the Clinic’s ability to position itself when engaging funders and other stakeholders. Employees have a clear and unambiguous understanding of their roles in the organisation. The entire staff complement, as they were all engaged during the design process, have taken ownership of the success of the organisation and live its values on a daily basis. As an organisation, we have never been more efficient. The monitoring and evaluation framework provides the Clinic with the basis upon which it can continuously improve and refine its activities to achieve the organisational objectives”

“Global Fund for Children contracted M&ESURE to lead a workshop on Theory of Change with a group of community-based organizations based in Kenya and South Africa. From conversations leading up to the workshop, I was put at ease as Megan and the team clearly exhibited her expertise and understanding of our needs—our trust-based approach to philanthropy and desire to provide a participatory, interactive experience for participants during the workshop. Over the 2-days of the workshop, I observed Megan deliver the content with empathy, fun, and skill. I was definitely pleased with the outcome and most importantly, the feedback from the partners was resoundingly positive especially their ability to demystify previously confusing and intimidating M&E concepts. Since this workshop, GFC has kept in touch with M&ESURE and will definitely recommend them to any entity looking for capacity building or strategy in M&E.”

“Liezel and her team at M&Esure are an excellent evaluation partner for us at the CDI. They can be relied upon to bring an independent due diligence approach to our monitoring and evaluation needs while still have a deep understanding of our organisational and programme objectives. And they are always ready to go the extra mile!”
