Core Services
Navigating complex nutrition landscapes? Dikoda provides expert research, technical assistance, and implementation support across nutrition, WASH, food systems, and broader social determinants of malnutrition. We deliver data-driven insights and practical solutions, empowering international agencies to achieve measurable improvements in nutrition worldwide.
Our approach combines rigorous research with practical implementation, empowering local teams to sustain solutions. We’re committed to ensuring our work translates into tangible change in communities most affected by malnutrition.
Evaluation and Impact Studies
Uncover the real story behind your nutrition programs. We provide in-depth evaluations beyond surface-level metrics, revealing what’s driving success and how to maximise your impact. Our robust, insightful analysis will help you demonstrate precise results to your stakeholders.
Monitoring Support
Stay ahead of challenges and ensure program success. Our dynamic monitoring tools provide early alerts, allowing you to address implementation issues before they impact outcomes. We equip your field teams with practical tools and streamline donor reporting, ensuring seamless program management.
Final Assessments
What story will your project tell when it’s complete? Our in-depth final assessments capture the entire narrative: outcomes, sustainable impacts, and key learnings. From quantitative results to qualitative community changes, we document your success and chart the path forward.
Cost-Benefit Analysis
“Is this nutrition program worth the investment?” Decision-makers need answers in economic terms. Our analyses translate health improvements into financial metrics that convince funders and policymakers. When resources are limited, we help you identify where every dollar creates maximum impact.
Training and Capacity Building
Local expertise drives sustainable change. We strengthen your team’s and partner organisations’ capabilities through tailored workshops, mentoring, and practical skill-building. The result? Nutrition programs that continue delivering results long after external support ends.
Knowledge Management Solutions
Convert scattered information into organisational intelligence. Our systems capture critical insights across your nutrition programs and make them accessible when and where decisions happen. Stop solving the same problems repeatedly and build on what you already know.
Programming Guidance and Case Studies
Learn from success stories. Our detailed case studies and evidence-based guidance provide blueprints for effective nutrition programming in challenging contexts. Why experiment when you can adapt proven approaches to your specific situation?
