Our organisation

Founded by ten former Civil Servants with extensive experience in the social sector, the Centre for Research in Schemes and Policies (CRISP) is dedicated to strengthening government delivery mechanisms to drive large-scale welfare improvements.
CRISP is neither an NGO, which operates at the micro level, nor a conventional think tank that primarily provides intellectual inputs for policymaking. Instead, it is a social organization committed to structural transformation.
Believing in the pivotal role of government in achieving large-scale social change, CRISP recognizes that many governmental efforts fall short of their full potential due to gaps in policy formulation, implementation, capacity building, and public engagement. CRISP seeks to bridge these gaps and enhance the effectiveness of social sector initiatives.

Why We Are Here

Independent of the implementing agency

There should be no conflict of interest in an evaluation exercise.

Stakeholder centric

Our programmes and schemes keep the people we intend to impact in mind.

Concurrent to the scheme implementation

Our evaluation starts with the scheme and continues as the project is implemented.

Focused on improvement

The evaluation is not a fault-finding exercise. Rather, it is a way to suggest ways to improve design and implementation. Failure is treated as a stepping stone for future success.

Objective, evidence-based exercise

The evaluation is not perception-based and subjective. It captures the views of the stakeholders through suitable data tools and reach conclusions based on data analytics.
