Services

At Bodhi Global Analysis, we deliver in-depth research and evaluations that inform strategic, evidence-based development interventions.

Our services are always tailored to client needs and aligned with specific programme objectives.

We mainstream gender across all areas of our work, recognising that gender-sensitive analysis is key to designing equitable and durable development solutions. Our research also incorporates the perspectives of marginalised groups, including persons with disabilities and individuals of diverse sexual orientation and gender identity.

Guided by feminist research principles, we prioritise participatory methods and centre local knowledge, ensuring that the evidence we generate is not only rigorous but inclusive and grounded in context.

We offer a range of research and advisory products tailored to the needs of development actors working in complex contexts. Each product is grounded in contextual understanding, intersectional analysis, and participatory methods to ensure that evidence informs effective and inclusive decision-making.

Political Economy Analysis

Our political economy analyses are grounded in an understanding of the context at the macro, meso and micro levels. We look at political and economic processes — the key institutions, structures, stakeholders, distribution of resources, and competing interests — that underpin an issue, sector or region. We work in an intersectional way to determine how a given context or issue affects people - particularly the most marginalised - differently.

Conflict Analysis

Our approach to conflict analysis emphasises the importance of local context and the perspectives of affected communities. Moreover, we believe that gender sensitive conflict analysis is essential in understanding the causes, impact, and resolution of conflict. Our conflict analysis reports include a scenario planning component based on research findings, which broadly reflect potential changes in the conflict situation and the likely impact on programming, in terms of the risks and opportunities that each scenario represents.

Contextual and Situational Analysis

Our approach to contextual and situational analysis, draws on our expertise in PEA and conflict analysis. In presenting the context for future programming we aim to analyse opportunities, barriers, and bottlenecks, highlight existing interventions by other stakeholders, their level of success and impact on policy, or gaps that persist, so as to produce the most comprehensive systematic analysis to inform organisations’ strategic decision-making.
