Our Approach

Rigorous. Contextual.
Community-Grounded.

DETCRO's advisory practice is built on a simple premise: systems change only when evidence is grounded in context. We combine rigorous quantitative methods with deep qualitative field engagement, ensuring our findings reflect the lived reality of communities rather than imported frameworks.

Our team has worked across South Sudan, Kenya, Zimbabwe, and the wider Horn of Africa — navigating complex political economies, multi-stakeholder programming environments, and rapidly shifting contexts with precision and integrity.
