Common questions about working across industries
Find answers to questions organizations, researchers, and public sector institutions ask before partnering with Opm.
How does Opm tailor research design for different industry needs?
We start by understanding your sector's specific challenges and stakeholders. Whether you're in development, academia, or government, we design methodologies that match your context. Our approach combines standard rigor with industry-specific adaptations to ensure results that are both credible and actionable.
What's the typical timeline for a monitoring and evaluation project?
Timelines vary by scope and complexity. A baseline survey typically takes 3 to 5 months. Ongoing monitoring programs run on quarterly or annual cycles. We align schedules with your budget cycles and decision points so findings arrive when you need them.
Can Opm work with organizations that have limited data infrastructure?
Yes. We work with organizations at any stage of data maturity. We design data collection methods suited to your current capacity and help you build systems for future use. Many clients in the development and public sector sectors start with manual processes and scale from there.
How do you ensure research findings are actually used by decision-makers?
We involve stakeholders early and design outputs for the people who'll use them. For policy teams, we create brief summaries. For program staff, we develop training materials. We also facilitate workshops to help teams translate findings into action.
What experience does Opm have working in Addis Ababa and across Ethiopia?
Based in Addis Ababa, Opm works regularly with Ethiopian organizations, universities, and government institutions. We understand local context and have established relationships with research networks, survey enumerators, and policy stakeholders across the region.
How much does a typical research or evaluation project cost?
Costs depend on scope, sample size, methodology, and timeline. A policy analysis might start at a few thousand dollars. A national survey can be significantly higher. We provide transparent quotes after understanding your needs. Most clients budget for quality research that answers their core questions.
