Experience across the research lifecycle

The assignment record shows how research design, field operations, community engagement, data systems and analytical interpretation come together. Household registration established evidence for social-protection targeting; subsequent work examined digital inclusion, smallholder registration and cocoa research delivery.

Current strategy and future direction

Business intelligence, investment feasibility, commercial due diligence and performance analytics lead our current offer. Development economics adds depth on institutions, livelihoods and inclusive growth. The 80% business and investment / 20% economic and development orientation describes strategic focus, rather than the historical share of completed assignments.

Our institutional relationships today

IDER currently has no affiliations. Our operational base is Ghana, with West Africa an immediate market focus. Any new country team or consortium is assessed for the expertise, language capability, delivery arrangements and research permissions the assignment requires.
