Project Details.

The intervention aimed to generate high-quality baseline, midline, and endline evidence to assess changes in knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) of key stakeholders regarding national financial policy (NFP), debt management, and climate budgeting reforms. The project employs survey-based experimentation to test how exposure to targeted communication materials and narratives influences belief shifts and stakeholder engagement. 

To ensure methodological rigor, a specialized research firm is required to design, implement, and analyze quantitative and qualitative data collection across policy officials, academics, media representatives, and civil society actors. The evidence generated was intended to guide government communication strategies, strengthen reform uptake, and support policy experimentation efforts. The expected sample size for the study was a minimum of 500 respondents. 

HIMAT Consulting provided comprehensive survey and research services for the intervention, beginning with the development of robust baseline and endline KAP survey instruments and qualitative data-collection tools. The team worked closely with the Public Policy Experimentation Expert to embed experimental treatments within questionnaires and structured interviews. 

HIMAT defined a rigorous sampling strategy to ensure representation across key stakeholder groups nationwide. The firm conducted all required data collection through in-person, online, or telephonic modalities, ensuring ethical compliance, confidentiality, and high response completion rates. This included administering surveys, facilitating focus group discussions, and conducting key informant interviews. 

HIMAT supported the dissemination of communication materials—briefs, visuals, and narratives—ensuring timely distribution and maintaining systematic records to support treatment-effect measurement. 

HIMAT cleaned, managed, and analyzed the full dataset using advanced statistical techniques, including hypothesis testing and treatment-effect analysis. Findings were disaggregated by stakeholder category and synthesized into baseline and endline reports, policy briefs, and presentation decks. The team supported dissemination activities and provided evidence-based insights to inform government communication strategies and strengthen future reform engagement.
