Research, Monitoring & Evaluation
Measuring what matters
Effective intervention starts with a clear picture of where you are — and requires ongoing evidence to know whether change is happening. Axiom’s research and evaluation services support organisations to build that evidence base, from initial needs assessment through to program evaluation and impact reporting.
Case Study
Rapid issues and evidence review: Building the evidence base for targeted investment in adolescent girls across the Asia-Pacific
Plan International Australia needed an evidence-based briefing paper to support their call on the Australian Government to establish the proposed Girls Resilient Futures Fund, ahead of the 2026 Women Deliver conference.
Axiom conducted the research literature review underpinning the paper — synthesising evidence on adolescent girls’ experiences, the costs of overlooking them in development investment, and the proven impact of targeted programs across the Asia-Pacific.
“Axiom delivered high-quality research and a well-written paper, underpinned by strong expertise in gender equality. Their insights were sharp, relevant, and added real value to the work. They were also professional, responsive, and easy to collaborate with throughout the process.”
