Research & Evaluation


We are skilled program evaluators who use culturally-responsive practices to guide our work. Our approach to research and evaluation incorporates designs that are grounded in multicultural literature, guided by logic modeling and theories of action, and measured by meaningful indicators. A toolbox of research and evaluation methodologies is utilized based on the study context and includes case studies, focus groups, observations, interviews, surveys, quasi-experimental studies, and randomized controlled trials.

E2LC’s key objective is to translate research into transformative praxis. We use multiple sources of data and findings to deliver evidence-based recommendations.
