Consulting Services

Inclusive Research by Design uses qualitative research methods and these typically include interviews, content analysis, and observation. The principal has used these methods previously to write evaluative reports for the United Nations Environment Program, Aravind Eye Care System, and the Arab League of Nations Khadija Network.
