In addition to conducting research on topics related to sustainable socioeconomic development, INESAD Foundation collects, processes and analyzes qualitative and quantitative data, thus supporting the decision-making process of governments, companies, international organizations, NGOs and other users, which require not only raw data, but also an in-depth analysis of them.

Data collection is done through surveys, focus groups, structured interviews, using various media and supports for data collection, whether digital or physical, and analysis programs such as ODK, ArGis or Stata.

Our own data are used to feed the Foundation’s research in the 5 areas in which we specialize. However, the services we offer to other institutions cover the areas of program and project evaluation, monitoring and perception.

Data collection and analysis allows INESAD to measure and evaluate the relationships between demographic, economic, social and environmental variables to gain a deeper understanding of issues such as basic needs, gender, community development, risk, finance, urban development, etc.
