Applied Evidence and Risk Analysis for the Horn of Africa
MUFAKAR Research provides independent, data-driven analysis on climate stress, displacement, and early warning to support evidence-based humanitarian and development decision-making
How can we help you?
Applied Research
Conduct rigorous, evidence-based studies using mixed methodologies to bridge the gap between academic theory and field reality. Our research provides actionable recommendations that directly inform humanitarian strategy, government policy, and donor investment priorities.
Climate Change Analysis
Analyze the impact of rainfall variability, water scarcity, and environmental degradation on rural and urban livelihoods. Our work focuses on the intersection of climate shocks and community resilience, providing the evidence needed for effective adaptation and resource management.
Early-warning, Risk & Anticipatory Action
By synthesizing real-time hazard data with socio-economic indicators, we develop forward-looking risk profiles. We help partners move from reactive aid to "Anticipatory Action" by identifying triggers and scenarios before crises escalate into full-scale emergencies.
Durable Solutions
Our research tracks the complex drivers of internal and cross-border displacement. We specialize in Area-Based Assessments (ABA) and settlement profiling to help aid actors and governments design sustainable pathways for IDP integration, return, or relocation.
Mid-term & End-line Program Reviews
We provide independent, objective assessments of project performance at critical intervals. Our mid-term reviews focus on "course correction," identifying implementation bottlenecks to improve efficiency, while our end-line evaluations measure overall impact, sustainability, and the achievement of pre-defined outcomes against OECD/DAC criteria.
Evidence-Based Programming
We provide technical support to ensure that long-term development programs are rooted in empirical evidence. From baseline assessments to impact evaluations, we help agencies design programs that address structural causes of vulnerability rather than just symptoms.
