Research Solutions

Research that Drives Decisions

We design and deliver research that moves decisions, not just data. From shaping the right questions to translating evidence into clear, actionable insights, we work alongside our clients across the full research lifecycle. Our approach combines rigorous methodology, contextual intelligence, and innovative tools to produce research that informs strategy, policy, and real-world action.

How We Deliver Research Solutions

We follow a structured, end-to-end research process designed to ensure rigor, relevance, and real-world applicability at every stage. Each step is intentionally linked to decision-making needs, not just data production.

Problem Framing and Research Design

We clarify the decision to be informed and align research questions, scope, methodologies, and sampling frameworks with the intended use of findings.

Data Collection and Field Execution

We execute data collection through trained teams and real-time digital monitoring to ensure data quality, integrity, and security.

Validation and Sense-Making

We test and refine findings through stakeholder consultations and expert review to ensure relevance and credibility.

Tool Development and Preparation

We design and deploy fit-for-purpose data collection tools and platforms, supported by robust quality assurance protocols.

Analysis and Insight Generation

We transform raw data into structured insights through robust analysis, including segmentation, trend analysis, and triangulation.

Reporting and Decision Support

We translate evidence into clear, actionable outputs tailored to decision-makers, including reports, policy briefs, presentations, and dashboards.

Sample Projects

  • WFP Jordan Social Behavioral Change Communication Students’ Survey

    World Food Program (WFP)

    As part of its Country Strategic Plan (CSP) 2023–2027, World Food Programme Jordan implemented activities under Strategic Outcome 2, which sought to ensure that extremely vulnerable populations, including refugees, were adequately covered by social protection schemes. Within this framework, the Social Behavior Change Communication (SBCC) Students’ Survey was implemented to assess the impact of SBCC sessions on students’ nutrition-related knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP).

    WFP contracted MMIS to lead baseline data collection for the survey, covering 250 schools participating in SBCC activities and a representative sample of 152 schools and 3,669 students in Grades 1-6 across Madaba, Balqa, and Marqa governorates. The assignment generated evidence on students’ absorption of SBCC content, measured changes in nutrition-related knowledge, attitudes, and practices, and documented lessons learned and good practices to inform future iterations of the intervention.

  • Data Collection for the Evaluation of ‘Darsel’ Math Personalized Learning Platform in Jordan

    Abdul Latif Jameel Poverty Action Lab (J-PAL) MENA

    The Darsel mathematics platform, an AI-enabled personalized learning tool delivered through low-bandwidth messaging applications, was implemented to improve mathematics learning outcomes for Jordanian public-school students by providing adaptive and accessible instruction.

    Over a one-year period, MMIS led large-scale data collection for a clustered randomized controlled trial implemented by Abdul Latif Jameel Poverty Action Lab (J-PAL) MENA. The assignment covered 294 public schools across seven districts and supported baseline, midline, and endline data collection for approximately 26,000 Grade 6 students and 400 teachers per round, carried out in close coordination with the research team to ensure methodological rigor and data quality.

  • Conduct Field Monitoring of the Estidama++ Programme

    International Labour Organization (ILO)

    The Estidama++ programme, led by the International Labour Organization, was implemented to strengthen job security and social protection outcomes through evidence-informed programme delivery. Over a two-year period, MMIS carried out eight rounds of independent monitoring, surveying 2,000 employees and 400 employers and facilitating 32 focus group discussions. The monitoring assessed implementation quality and beneficiary experiences, generating timely evidence to support adaptive programme management and continuous improvement.

  • World Bank Group Country Opinion Survey for Jordan and Iraq

    World Bank

    MMIS provided implementation support to the World Bank Group for the administration of its Country Opinion Survey in Jordan and Iraq. The assignment aimed to generate systematic feedback from key national stakeholders to inform the Bank’s strategic engagement, enhance institutional responsiveness, and strengthen its results orientation. The survey captured stakeholder perceptions of the Bank’s products and services, as well as broader views on the development landscape in both countries. Under this assignment, MMIS expanded and validated the stakeholder sampling frame in coordination with the World Bank Group, reviewed and quality-checked the digital survey instrument developed by the Public Opinion Research Group to ensure alignment with the paper questionnaire, and managed the dissemination of both digital and paper surveys. MMIS also conducted structured follow-up with all targeted respondents to maximize participation, contributing to strong response rates and reliable survey outcomes.

  • Data Collection Services through Home Visits

    World Food Programme (WFP)

    Within its strategic partnership with the World Food Programme, MMIS supported the validation of household data submitted to Jordan’s National Aid Fund as part of the national cash assistance eligibility process. MMIS led large-scale field data collection across all 12 governorates, conducting 5,982 in-person household visits to verify submitted information. The assignment also encompassed enumerator recruitment and training, the development of field protocols and quality assurance tools, and continuous field monitoring to ensure data accuracy, regulatory compliance, and timely reporting.

  • Impact Study for King Abdullah II Center of Excellence (KACE)

    King Abdullah II Centre for Excellence (KACE)

    The King Abdullah II Centre for Excellence (KACE) commissioned MMIS to conduct an objective and comprehensive assessment of the Center and the excellence awards it administered across the public and private sectors. The assessment examined the impact of KACE’s initiatives on participating institutions, their service recipients, and the wider community, with the aim of measuring achievement against intended objectives, identifying strengths and gaps, and informing future performance improvement.

    MMIS implemented a large-scale mixed-methods study that included surveys with 600 senior and middle managers from participating ministries, government institutions, and private-sector companies; 6,000 service recipients from 77 ministries and government entities; and 800 respondents drawn from a representative sample of the general public. To support this effort, MMIS designed six customized questionnaires targeting institutional stakeholders, service recipients, and the broader community, capturing perceptions of service quality, efficiency, staff behavior, and overall institutional performance.
