We design and implement a variety of research projects ranging from national household surveys to discrete and focused programme reviews, formative research, as well as process and end-of-programme evaluations. We have specialist expertise in research translation and utilisation.

Our researchers have decades of experience in quantitative and qualitative research methodologies and understand how to apply these in a practical way. This ensures that commissioning companies and organisations can confidently use our findings.

We work with clients on the design of appropriate evaluations for their programmes, using robust methods and a cost-effective approach. We jointly develop user-friendly M&E frameworks and plans. We find ways to represent routinely collected data to encourage better decision making.

Our work on research translation and utilisation has positioned our clients as leaders in the use of evidence-based approaches for adaptation, innovation uptake and programme improvement.

Our team draws on multidisciplinary skills in public financial management, health finance, costing, efficiency studies and other economics analyses to inform policy, build resilient health systems and facilitate efficient implementation of health programmes to improve healthcare in the region.

Sustainable financing and the achievement of value for money in health interventions are increasingly recognised as key pillars in achieving the sustainable development goals for health and universal healthcare. 

At a time when many countries face large cuts to donor funding and competing demands for domestic resources, we provide technical support to decision makers in navigating this new reality.

We unlock value and maximise impact in health delivery across Africa by addressing technical health systems challenges in programme implementation. We do this by providing technical assistance, capacity development and harness knowledge management & learning.

Through our service offerings, we aim to achieve the following objectives:

• Equip institutions with the insights, tools and methodologies needed to boost their capacity to effectively deliver sustainable health programmes
• Identify and address root causes and underlying system behaviours that negatively impact programme implementation
• Build the competencies of programme and policy stakeholders to implement and adapt best practices and strategies to optimise programme performance; to establish and coordinate collective learning networks; to harness social capital, disseminate good practices; and influence the conversion of learnings into action – from diagnostics, through design and delivery
• Develop communities of practice from various geographies and thematic areas to document cases of good practice.

The Genesis team leverages its experience and skills to support the use of digital applications and services to collect and integrate diverse datasets to conduct innovative analysis for improving access to, and quality of, health services.

We conduct landscape assessments of national or specific health information systems, and develop health sector specific strategies or policies to ensure that health information systems are integrated and able to share information in an efficient manner. We also co-ordinate and manage digital project implementation, and provide specific technical support for data analytics and data management.

To support South Africa in reaching its 90-90-90 targets, we developed behaviourally informed messaging for a low-cost messaging platform that is used to engage all HIV-positive patients as part of a GP network.

Insights from behavioural sciences foster an understanding of human behaviour within given contexts that allow us to design systems or interventions that result in behaviour change. The behavioural sciences is an umbrella term that draws on psychology, anthropology, cognitive science, behavioural economics (BE), and social and behavioural change communication (SBCC). Our work builds on the evidence base provided by behavioural sciences and applies it to effect behaviour change in wide-ranging contexts or settings. We use our deep sector expertise and experience in applying behavioural sciences insights to influence behaviour through communication, interventions, processes and systems. We design and deliver human-centred systems and processes, and effect scalable, sustainable behaviour change along the full impact pathway.
