SAMUEL HALL’S PILLARS
Our three research pillars are related to our key product offerings. We have the capability to take projects from start to finish without the need to outsource – from data collection to detailed analysis and modelling. A culture of learning means we are always at the forefront of new tools, methods, and approaches.
Read through the pages to understand our vision and goals for each pillar and how they contribute to our larger mission of connecting voices of the community to changemakers for more inclusive societies.
RESEARCH AND POLICY PILLAR
We feature analysis and stories to change dominant narratives and provide a new lens to support governments, organisations, and communities, to foster more equitable systems and expand spaces for all voices to be heard
This pillar is the backbone of Samuel Hall’s work in advancing the rights of migrants globally: we produce evidence of the lives and aspirations of migrants and displaced persons.
Our research projects are rooted in fieldwork led by our operations team. Taking a qualitative approach informed by quantitative insights, our research is deeply entrenched in the stories and voices of people.
The Research and Policy Team's engagement does not end at research as we link our findings with policy processes. We shape and guide national, regional, and international dialogues.

MONITORING, EVALUATION, ACCOUNTABILITY & LEARNING (MEAL) PILLAR
We commit to holding stakeholders accountable to the impact of interventions on people and on their rights; enabling our partners to make informed decisions to strengthen programmes that advance social justice, gender equality, inclusion, and human rights.
As a global leader in monitoring, evaluation, accountability and learning (MEAL), we empower civil society, inter-governmental organisations, governments, small businesses and other stakeholders with rigorous research, insightful evaluations, and comprehensive solutions, driving positive change in contexts of migration and displacement, international development and social equity.
As trusted partners, we actively contribute to shaping evidence-based strategies, fostering knowledge sharing, and promoting evidence utilisation. Through our collaborative approach, we enable our clients to achieve measurable and sustainable outcomes, contributing to global development priorities and the attainment of the Sustainable Development Goals.

DATA STANDARDS AND ANALYTICS PILLAR
Committed to ethics and transparency, we approach data with integrity, refine methods and measurements to ensure robust analysis and preserve the (human) narratives behind the numbers.
In this age of digital transformation, we understand that data is more than just figures on a spreadsheet; it's a narrative waiting to be told. At the heart of Samuel Hall's extensive fieldwork lies our Data Standards and Analytics pillar. Pioneering innovative approaches to field data collection, analysis, and interpretation, we leverage over a decade's worth of insights, ranging from Afghanistan to the MENA region, from East to West Africa.
We employ advanced sampling methodologies, indices, statistical models, and predictive analytics. We strive wherever possible to collaborate in and contribute to the creation of global standards and best practices in the hope of informing spirited and rigorous policy debate.
