The firm

Our mission

Supporting public, private and community stakeholders in the design, implementation and evaluation of innovative, sustainable and inclusive projects, serving socio-economic and environmental development across Africa.

Where we stand

CIRED-AFRIQUE is a pool of experts working towards inclusive, sustainable and evidence-based development, putting technical and scientific expertise at the service of African communities.

How we work

Our assignments start in the field. The communities concerned take part in setting priorities and in reading the findings — not as a formality, but because their knowledge corrects what analysis conducted from a distance cannot see.

2030 objective

To become the reference technical partner in Central Africa for the evaluation of sustainable development projects.

Our areas of expertise

Environment & Sustainable development

Design and implementation of environmental projects; environmental audits and assessments.

Studies & Expertise

Socio-economic and environmental studies; market and marketing research.

Engineering & Infrastructure

Monitoring and supervision of civil engineering, energy and sanitation works.

Training & Capacity building

Workshops, seminars and training programmes tailored to local needs.

Governance & Organisations

Organisational and institutional audits; performance evaluations and strategic support.

GIS & Monitoring and evaluation

Participatory mapping, geospatial databases and monitoring and evaluation frameworks.

What we bring

What sets an assignment led by CIRED-AFRIQUE apart.

Participatory and inclusive approach

Local communities are part of the process, from setting priorities through to reading the findings.

Multidisciplinary expertise

Engineering, research and evaluation within one team, rather than subcontracted separately.

Commitment to sustainability

Projects are designed to hold up once the consultants leave: resilient works, skills handed over.

Partner network

Academic and technical partners across Africa and beyond, brought in according to the nature of the assignment.

A methodology with tools behind it

Digital collection with Kobocollect and Survey123, analysis in SPSS, mapping in QGIS; CCI and SWOT protocols and participatory assessments.

Operational capacity

Up to 751 households surveyed on a single assignment, in remote terrain: deploying and supervising enumerator teams is part of what we do.
