Why UTS?

UTS understands the difficulties organisations face in evaluating policies and programs, and so offers critical assessment and insights to governments, nonprofits and the private sector. We cover the full life cycle of public policy, program and service delivery, and organisational design – from strategy to implementation to evaluation.

Through specialised data collection and analysis, UTS identifies key patterns, strengths, and weaknesses, shedding light on processes to help improve the overall impact of organisations. This in turn can help strengthen future decision making, resource allocation and improve the experiences of all parties involved. 

UTS can help with:

  • creating and executing an evaluation framework
  • identifying time-frames, resources, baselines and performance information
  • analysing social, environmental and economic costs and benefits
  • making recommendations for ongoing targets and processes
  • monitoring implementation as well as the impact on performance and outcomes.
