Zimbabwe's Trusted Research Partner
Research, Monitoring & Evaluation Services in Zimbabwe
Olympus Research, Evaluation and Training Services (Olympus RETS) is a research consultancy based in Ruwa, Harare, Zimbabwe, providing monitoring and evaluation Zimbabwe organisations can rely on. As a dedicated MEAL consultancy, we design and implement Monitoring, Evaluation, Accountability and Learning systems that help governments, NGOs, intergovernmental bodies and development partners track progress, demonstrate results and make evidence-based decisions.
Our programme evaluation work spans baseline surveys, formative reviews and end-of-programme evaluations across sectors including health, water and sanitation, livelihoods, social protection and education. Every engagement is grounded in rigorous quantitative and qualitative methods, giving clients across Zimbabwe and Southern Africa confidence in the findings we deliver. Alongside evaluation, our impact assessment services measure the real-world change created by projects and programmes, providing the accountability that donors and boards expect.
Data sits at the centre of good decision-making, which is why our data analytics practice supports clients with data systems design, statistical analysis using tools such as SPSS and NVivo, and clear, actionable reporting. This research consultancy Zimbabwe capability is complemented by our training consultancy arm, which builds internal capacity through courses in data analysis, organisational development, change management, leadership and strategic planning.
As a development consultancy with more than ten years of experience and a track record of 18+ completed projects, Olympus RETS combines local knowledge of the Zimbabwean context with international best practice. Whether you need a standalone impact assessment, an ongoing MEAL consultancy partner, or full-scale monitoring and evaluation Zimbabwe support for a multi-year programme, our team of expert consultants is positioned to deliver rigorous, practical and timely results.
Clients choose Olympus RETS because we pair methodological rigour with practical, easy-to-act-on recommendations. Every research consultancy engagement begins with a clear understanding of the client's objectives, followed by a fit-for-purpose design — whether that calls for household surveys, key informant interviews, focus group discussions, or a mixed-methods approach. Reports are written for decision-makers, not just technical audiences, so that findings from our monitoring and evaluation Zimbabwe assignments translate directly into stronger programming and better outcomes.
Based in Ruwa, on the outskirts of Harare, we are well placed to serve clients throughout Zimbabwe and the wider Southern Africa region. If your organisation is planning a baseline study, a mid-term or end-of-programme evaluation, an impact assessment, or a capacity-building training programme, get in touch with our research consultancy Zimbabwe and MEAL consultancy team to discuss how we can support your next phase of work.
