Our International Advisory Services

GIDE provides international advisory services to development partners — including the African Development Bank (AfDB) and the Climate Funds — across the full cycle of project design, measurement, and evidence generation. Where these services draw on digital tools and platforms, they are delivered through our technology affiliate, ScaleX Labs.

Advisory, Evaluation & Safeguards

  • Design, Monitoring, Evaluation, and Learning (MEL) of projects, programs, policies, and strategies

  • Environmental and social safeguards across projects, programs, policies, and strategies

  • AI-aided digital photography and videography for MEL — including the drone-based tier delivered with the ScaleX Labs MEL System

Measurement Tools & Analytics — with ScaleX Labs

GIDE originates the methods; our affiliate ScaleX Labs builds them into the integrated AI platform that puts them in practitioners' hands.

  • Results measurement frameworks — Theory of Change and Logical Frameworks — via the AI-Powered MEL System

  • Gender Transformative measurement — via GenTraQ™

  • Climate change adaptation and mitigation measurement

  • Value for Money (VfM), cost-effectiveness, cost-benefit, Social Return on Investment (SROI), and partnership analytics — via GrantIQ™

Training & Knowledge — via ScaleX Labs Academy

  • Demand-driven online and in-person training on the tools above

  • Guidebooks and manuals — by online subscription or direct purchase

  • Knowledge products — reports, peer-reviewed publications, policy briefs, and media

Professional Network

  • An online platform connecting consultancy firms, NGOs, and individual professionals to consulting and professional training opportunities

  • Access to our online database of multidisciplinary experts — available to multilateral, international, and bilateral institutions, philanthropic organizations, NGOs, and the private sector

In every service, the principle is the same — people lead, and AI strengthens.
