Partnering with you to cultivate change for impact

Cultivating Change supports social purpose organisations to cultivate change by embedding monitoring, evaluation and learning within their operations and culture.

We know that the old binary of bringing in a fully independent evaluator, or delivering all evaluations internally, can limit organisations.

At Cultivating Change, we operate in the middle ground, where our expertise builds your capacity through applied MEL initiatives.

We cultivate changes in health, equity and social outcomes by working at all levels of society, including individuals, organisations and institutions.

We work with a range of actors, through monitoring, evaluation and learning activities, to understand their place and relationships in the socio-ecological system, what changes can they meaningfully contribute to, and how evaluation can support them to achieve desired impact.

We particularly focus on:

  • Coaching individuals, to strengthen their evaluation capacity and confidence

  • Engaging communities in monitoring, evaluation and learning activities

  • Supporting organisations to define, measure and learn from their social impact

Our Values

Useful

We blend theory and practice from multiple disciplines to create practical and fit-for-purpose processes and end products. No impractical grandiose MEL frameworks, or dusty reports on the shelf!

Sustainable

We ensure all the work we do strengthens your MEL organisational capacity and culture, we aren’t just working to achieve the immediate task at hand.

Inclusive

We include diverse perspectives, to ensure our work is grounded in different understandings of value, success, and evidence. 

Inquisitive

In all that we do we dig deeper, ask questions, and challenge assumptions and norms, including our own mental models. 

Partnership

We are a trusted sounding board for your ongoing MEL journey, including being responsive to your changing needs. We don’t operate in a ‘in-out’ transactional manner, or deliver the same thing each year.

We’d love to work with you.
