Inclusive Research & Evaluation
Independent evaluations and mixed-methods research that ask whether programmes work, for whom and why — with affected communities shaping the questions.
Inclusive research · Monitoring · Evaluation
Evidence that belongs to the people it is about.
KMSMJK Consulting is an inclusive research, monitoring and evaluation consultancy. We help donors, governments and civil society understand what works — with evidence designed, generated and owned by people with lived experience.

Who we are
A consultancy built around a simple idea: those most affected should shape the evidence.
Too often, research and evaluation are done on communities rather than with them. We work differently.
Registered in Indonesia and Australia, KMSMJK Consulting brings together evaluators, researchers and data specialists who have worked inside youth-led organisations, community networks, NGOs, government programmes and international development partners. We combine methodological rigour with participatory practice, so that the findings are credible to funders and meaningful to the people they describe.

Our services
From a single evaluation to a full programme MEL system.
MEL Systems & Data
Monitoring, evaluation and learning frameworks that teams actually use — from theory of change to live dashboards.
GEDSI & Lived-Experience Engagement
Gender equality, disability and social inclusion embedded in every stage, so that people closest to an issue hold real influence.
Policy Analysis & Strategy
Evidence translated into options decision-makers can act on, across trade, food systems, social protection and digital policy.
Partnerships & Resource Mobilisation
Helping NGOs, social enterprises and research partners design fundable programmes and grow sustainably.
Capacity Strengthening & Digital Learning
Training and coaching that leave partners stronger, including online courses built for scale.
Owned by lived experience
How lived experience leads our work
Inclusion is not a chapter at the end of the report. It is built into four decisions in every assignment.
01
Who asks the questions
Communities and people with lived experience help set evaluation questions and define what “success” means.
02
Who gathers the evidence
We train and pay peer and community researchers, and design tools that are accessible and safe.
03
Who makes sense of it
Findings are tested in sense-making sessions with participants before they reach a final report.
04
Who owns the results
Results return to communities in usable formats, and data is governed with their consent.
