ADSOCK endeavours to develop program and projects that are moving from discovery to goal oriented and therefore address the needs of the diverse communities that it serves.

To this end, the research and development program is tasked with the responsibilities of conducting baseline surveys, monitoring and evaluation of ADSOCK activities thus enabling the organisation to work from a point of knowledge rather than assumption.

The research component helps in identifying needs, entry points for project interventions and the basis for designing appropriate implementation strategies.

The program also aims to establish integrated results based management culture and support system to generate, process, document and share ADSOCK lessons and achievements. The monitoring and evaluation culture will generate evidence on the Strategic Plan implementation for learning, decision-making, and accountability in all areas of ADSOCK’s work.
