The 4th Wheel conducts baseline research before you start with your project. This helps you take evidence-based decisions on what interventions will have the largest impact. We enable the project by providing a deep understanding of the target group and a true picture of the ground realities. Further, we ensure that the target group gets to participate in the program and set the consultation process rolling. This helps you identify the needs, requirements and priorities of your target group, and choose the right order in which to design interventions. At its most basic, baseline research defines the base that can be continuously monitored and against which the impact and improvements can be measured. We use technology to make sure that you are not just measuring the parameters, but are continuously tracked over the project���s life cycle.  

 After the project has begun, the 4th Wheel conducts impact evaluation. This not only allows you to plan and implement better interventions but also facilitates accountability. Evaluation is not a one-time activity, but something that should happen throughout the project life cycle. This is important as you want to be able to course correct if the impact is not matching up to what you had initially anticipated. Our impact evaluation allows you to incorporate findings into your decision-making process. It also captures credible evidence of the project performance and impact achieved. This robust documentation goes a long way in keeping the stakeholders satisfied. Our process also helps you contribute to a knowledge base that similar initiatives can use as it provides comprehensive information about what works and what does not.

 Remember that baseline research and impact evaluation are not measuring sticks to impose accountability. Instead, these are management and learning tools that let you improve on the project execution while you still have a chance to - rather than wait till the end of the project to figure out what worked and what could have worked better.
