Independent Knowledge for Positive Change
CPS is an independent, evidence-based research and development organization committed to strengthening understanding, informing policy and improving development practice. We work with public institutions, communities, civil society, development partners and researchers to examine the issues that shape people’s lives and opportunities.
Our role is to generate credible, context-sensitive knowledge through rigorous inquiry, inclusive engagement and transparent analysis. From defining research questions to communicating findings, we connect data and lived experience with decisions that matter.
Guided by independence, integrity and public value, CPS supports practical solutions to social, economic and institutional challenges. Our mission is to ensure that high-quality evidence contributes to more responsive policies, stronger programs and positive, sustainable outcomes for communities.

Our Research Approach

We begin by defining the development challenge, listening to stakeholders and framing questions that matter. This ensures every study is grounded in local context and clear public value.
02 — Data & Evidence
Our teams gather reliable quantitative and qualitative evidence through rigorous methods, trusted partnerships and careful quality assurance. Strong data provides the foundation for credible findings.
03 — Analysis
