EDREO will help you uncover the change you have made
 
 

 EDREO provides research and consultancy services in public policies' development, implementation, monitoring and evaluation. The scope of our expertise covers all phases of policy cycle – development of strategy, design, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of public interventions, both at programme and project level. Nevertheless, currently we focus predominantly on evaluations of regional, national and European policy actions.  

We believe that erudite reflexion of each policy or public action should be a natural part of policy cycle to ensure knowledge-based feedback to improve public policy interventions. We are convinced that evaluations are important tool for such reflections and properly considered and executed may uplift even small action into a world-changing impulse.

We focus on:

  • EU Cohesion policy and other European investment and development policies
  • National and regional policies in the Czech Republic
  • Development cooperation of the Czech Republic
  • Human resources development, education, labour market, social services, regional development, stakeholder involvement

We undertake evaluations, policy analyses (thematic and process), prepare strategies or action plans as well as other implementation documents. We can help you to develop your idea into a project proposal and to look for suitable public funding. We conduct target (online) questionnaire surveys, in-depth interviews, workshops, panel discussions, focus groups, desk research, quantitative and quantitative analyses etc.

Knowing-well the environment of public administration, non-profit, private and academic sectors, we strive to make these different worlds talk to each other and find liaison areas for enriching mutual cooperation. We do our best to bring invention, enthusiasm and erudition to all our realized services. We are open to learn and employ new methods and search for the best solution for each individual client.

We are very open to new opportunities and we are not afraid to try new cooperation and research challenges even though in a slightly different pool than we have been working so far.

We might realize a whole project together or we can deliver a case study for your comparative research. Please do not hesitate to contact us and ask.
