We needed to modernize our payment systems and digital infrastructure, but required partners who understood both international best practices and local operational context. HBC delivered on time and within budget, reducing transaction processing time by 40% while maintaining compliance across multiple jurisdictions.
HBC designed and executed a comprehensive evaluation framework for our $3M+ regional development initiative. Their rigorous methodology and local expertise ensured findings were both technically sound and actionable for policy implementation. The evaluation informed strategic decisions affecting programming across four countries.
HBC conducted an in-depth climate risk assessment for our energy sector portfolio. Their analysis identified critical vulnerabilities and mapped $50M+ in climate adaptation investment opportunities. Their work became the foundation for our sustainability strategy going forward.
HBC evaluated our integrated reproductive and maternal health program across 12 provinces with exceptional cultural sensitivity and methodological rigor. They navigated Afghanistan’s complex post-2021 complications on women’s healthcare while maintaining ethical standards and data quality. Their facility assessments and community outreach analysis directly informed our sustainability planning and service delivery improvements.
Our €4.5M emergency response required an evaluation partner who understood both protection principles and disability-inclusive methodology. HBC exceeded our expectations—they achieved 94% of beneficiaries receiving humanitarian assistance (vs. 75% target) while ensuring 33% of survey respondents were persons with disabilities. Their findings on access barriers for displaced populations shaped our operational adjustments significantly.
HBC’s endline evaluation of our community-based MSME and agricultural development projects was comprehensive and actionable. They assessed 532 rural households across multiple provinces, documenting that our livelihood interventions achieved 94% job creation through community enterprises. Their analysis of sustainability prospects for trained practitioner networks informed our scaling strategy for the next program phase.
