Sustainable evaluation and data use require more than individual projects. Ensightics works with organizations to build internal capacity, strengthen evaluation components of grants, and connect evaluation work to broader strategic goals. The emphasis is on training and technical assistance that respects existing strengths, recognizes constraints, and provides practical tools that fit current workflows.

Evaluation Capacity Building & Training

Ensightics offers tailored workshops, coaching, and tools to help teams feel supported in using evaluation and data in their roles.

How Ensightics can help

• Design and deliver introductory and advanced workshops, such as:
  • Logic models and theories of change
  • Outcome measurement and indicators
  • Survey design and basic data skills
  • Using qualitative data and stories in evaluation
• Provide coaching for program managers and supervisors on interpreting data and integrating findings into planning and supervision
• Develop simple, maintainable tools (templates, checklists, Excel trackers, data collection forms) that fit existing workflows
• Conduct short “evaluation check-ups” to review current evaluation plans, tools, and reporting, and recommend practical adjustments

Grant & Proposal Support

Strong, realistic evaluation plans increase the competitiveness of proposals and make implementation smoother once funding is awarded.

How Ensightics can help

• Help identify potential grants, and aid in writing and submitting a competitive grant
• Write or co-write the evaluation sections of grant applications and concept notes
• Develop measurable objectives, indicators, and data collection plans aligned with funder expectations and local capacity
• Build evaluation timelines and realistic budgets, including staffing, data systems, and analysis needs
• Serve as a named external evaluation partner, providing letters of support and scope descriptions as needed
• Translate existing evaluation and data work into compelling proposal narratives that highlight impact and equity

Additional Strategic Support

Ensightics also helps organizations share their work more broadly and connect evaluation findings to practice, policy, and field-building.

How Ensightics can help

• Refine surveys and instruments, including integration of validated scales where appropriate
• Support quarterly, bi-annual, and annual reports with data sections, impact narratives, and visuals tailored to boards, funders, and community audiences
• Prepare conference abstracts, posters, and presentations based on program data and evaluation findings
• Draft or co-draft manuscripts or practice notes for peer-reviewed or practitioner journals, in collaboration with organizational staff and partners
