March Associates and its researchers have managed several research undertakings in several fields including financial inclusion, rural finance, social protection (specifically SCTs), agriculture, climate change, nutrition, public health, SRHR, development, education, M&E, environment and gender, among others. Through this work, March Associates has been able to influence government policy and evidence based debate quite substantially.

One of March Associates’ strongest points is that not only does it have the relevant skills and experience to implement studies, but it also has, in-house, the capacity to analyse survey data using state-of-the-art statistical and econometric techniques.

March Associates has got senior research staff that is conversant with common statistical and data management software, such as Stata, SPSS, E-views, GAMS and CSPro.

This level of appreciation of the end-use of the data helps to ensure that the most effective quality assurance systems are put in place throughout the research chain, from design to implementation, analysis and report writing.
