Services

Research
A hub for practitioners and researchers working in the social realm, we conduct applied research on policies and programs for civil society and public sector clients. We have conducted qualitative and mixed-methods research studies primarily in the area of social policy and practice, often with a focus on disability inclusion. Most of our research has been of a comparative nature, and has resulted in, for example:'

• Factsheets on access to and quality of disability inclusion services.

• Comparative study on financing of disability inclusion services.

• Employment models in the social economy for disability inclusion..
Design & Evaluation
With the majority of PIL colleagues focusing on democratization, development and human rights, we focus largely on supporting organisations, programs and policies targeting these areas globally. Much of our evaluation work has been on programs and funding mechanisms that are in process or between phases, focussing on process and impact evaluation. As people bought into the success of social programming, we are strong believers and appreciate working on assignments with a formative focus on the very design of programs through methods like developmental evaluation and strategy design.
Communication & Learning
We often support our clients’ with learning and dissemination activities including in high-level events including policymakers. Since 2021, we have been providing the European Parliament Bureau in Lithuania with evaluation, learning and communication services to support its implementation of the European Parliament Ambassador School Programme and its participating community (100+ schools) in Lithuania. We also support socially focused organisations for their communication and advocacy needs, including by speaking at public relations events.
