Sudan Research And Consultancy Group

What Sudan Research And Consultancy Group does

Sudan Research And Consultancy Group (SRCG) is a Khartoum-headquartered professional services consultancy that delivers research, monitoring, and evaluation (M&E) services to governments, international organizations, and non-governmental organizations operating in Sudan. The firm's customer base includes UNICEF, UNDP, UNHCR, the World Bank, and more than a dozen international NGOs such as Mercy Corps, Save the Children, the International Rescue Committee, the Norwegian Refugee Council, Relief International, Welthungerhilfe, International Medical Corps, Search for Common Ground, GOAL Global, and the International Republican Institute. Project execution spans at least nine Sudanese states including South Kordofan, West/Central/North Darfur, Blue Nile, Khartoum, Kassala, Gedaref, and Sennar, with engagements ranging from Third-Party Monitoring and impact evaluations to needs assessments, baseline/midline/endline studies, and conflict mapping.

SRCG's service portfolio is structured around nine lines: core Research, Monitoring and Evaluation; Third-Party Monitoring and Evaluation; Humanitarian and Development Advisory; and sector-specific advisory across Agriculture and Food Security, Energy/Infrastructure/Climate Resilience, Health/Education/Social Development, Economic Development/Private Sector Engagement, Environmental Sustainability, and Government and Policy Advisory. These services are supported by two enabling capabilities — Digital Innovation and Data-Driven Solutions (analytics and interactive dashboards) and Institutional Capacity Building. The technology stack is centered on digital analytics tools and interactive dashboards used to convert mixed-method field data (household surveys, key informant interviews, focus group discussions) into decision-ready insights; the firm has executed engagements covering thousands of surveys and dozens of KIIs and FGDs for clients such as UNHCR (2,744 surveys) and GOAL Global (869 surveys).

SRCG operates as a privately held, project-based consultancy headquartered at St. #41, Bld. #58, 3rd Floor, Khartoum 2. Revenue is generated through competitive bidding and direct proposals to development organizations, governments, and NGOs, with select contracts secured through joint venture partnerships — notably with Particip GmbH on the World Bank-funded THABAT Project, where SRCG manages national experts, field operations, logistics, and security. The firm maintains a digital presence via its website, LinkedIn, and Facebook pages, plus a weekly newsletter subscription. No revenue, headcount, funding, or ownership information is publicly disclosed, and the company website currently displays placeholder metrics ('0 Projects, 0 Consultants'), representing a transparency gap relative to typical investment-grade diligence standards.

Direct peers

• Itad: UK-based consultancy specialising in monitoring, evaluation and learning for international development and humanitarian programmes. Closely comparable in service mix (M&E, third-party monitoring, evaluation) and in serving the same UN/multilateral donor client base as SRCG.
• KonTerra Group: International development consultancy focused on fragile-state M&E, learning and capacity building. Closely comparable niche to SRCG's work in conflict-affected Sudan and humanitarian/development evaluation.
• Oxford Policy Management: Policy research and evaluation consultancy dedicated to international development. Matches SRCG in providing evidence-based policy advice, baseline/impact evaluations and M&E to governments, multilaterals and NGOs across fragile states.
• Particip GmbH: German-headquartered international development consultancy focused on participatory research and M&E. SRCG's active joint-venture partner on the World Bank THABAT Project, making it the most directly comparable peer in terms of offerings and donor client mix.
• IMC Worldwide: International development consultancy covering research, M&E and advisory across infrastructure, energy, agriculture and governance — the same sector verticals SRCG serves across Sudanese states.
• IDL (International Development Ltd, formerly Coffey): International development consultancy delivering monitoring, evaluation, research and capacity-building programmes for major donors. Matches SRCG in operating across humanitarian and development contexts and serving multilateral client RFPs.
• Social Impact Inc: US-headquartered M&E, research and learning firm serving USAID, UN agencies and INGOs. Directly comparable to SRCG on core service lines (evaluations, baseline studies, third-party monitoring) and donor-driven project-based revenue model.

Broad incumbents

• DT Global: Global international development firm delivering programmes, M&E and advisory across multiple sectors and geographies. Overlaps with SRCG on third-party monitoring, evaluations and policy advisory for USAID, World Bank and DFAT clients.
• Management Systems International (Tetra Tech): Large-scale M&E and management consulting firm within the Tetra Tech international development portfolio. Competes with SRCG for the same donor contracts but operates from a much broader global delivery footprint and balance sheet.
• Crown Agents: International development company with an M&E, capacity-building and governance arm. Comparable to SRCG in serving donor/government clients across fragile markets, though with a much broader funding-administration and procurement portfolio.
