National Household Health Survey
National Healthcare Research Foundation · United States, US
A national healthcare research foundation needed to conduct a nationally representative household health survey covering 12,000 in-person interviews across seven key states within a 12-month fieldwork window. Previous vendors had struggled with response rates below 80% in urban areas and faced significant challenges recruiting and retaining qualified interviewers in rural regions. The organization required a minimum 90% response rate to meet statistical validity thresholds for key health indicators used in policy decisions.

Saudi Government Ministry · Saudi Arabia, MENA
A Saudi government ministry responsible for labor and workforce development needed comprehensive, nationally representative data on employment patterns, skills gaps, and workforce participation to inform Saudi Vision 2030 policy decisions. The study required 30,000 household interviews across all 13 administrative regions of Saudi Arabia, including remote and traditionally hard-to-reach areas. Cultural sensitivities around interviewing female household members and the need for gender-matched interviewers added significant operational complexity.

Jordanian National Energy Utility · Jordan, MENA
A Jordanian national energy utility planning a $50 million grid modernization and renewable energy investment needed reliable consumer data on energy usage patterns, willingness to pay for improved service, and attitudes toward solar energy adoption. The study required 15,000 household interviews covering all 12 governorates, including densely populated urban areas in Amman and Irbid as well as sparsely populated rural regions in the south. Previous internal surveys had suffered from low response rates and questionable data quality, undermining confidence in planning assumptions.

International Development Agency · Jordan, Lebanon, Egypt & Morocco, MENA
A USAID-funded education improvement program operating across four MENA countries needed a rigorous monitoring and evaluation partner to measure program impact on student learning outcomes, teacher effectiveness, and school management practices. The M&E design required baseline and endline surveys of 45,000 students, teachers, and parents across 500 schools, along with quarterly performance monitoring visits. Previous M&E contractors had struggled with access to schools in conflict-affected areas of Lebanon and logistical challenges in rural Morocco.

Leading Global Consumer Goods Manufacturer · Turkey, MENA
A leading global consumer goods manufacturer needed nationwide retail tracking across Turkey's highly fragmented retail landscape. With major provinces encompassing a complex mix of modern trade hypermarkets, organized retail chains, and hundreds of thousands of traditional grocery stores and neighborhood markets, the client lacked visibility into distribution gaps and competitive shelf dynamics. Existing syndicated data covered only major urban centers, leaving vast Anatolian markets unmeasured. The client needed granular, store-level data to optimize distribution strategies and reduce chronic out-of-stock issues that were eroding market share in Turkey's $85 billion FMCG sector.

Turkish Statistical Institute (TÜİK) Partner Consortium · Turkey, MENA
A large-scale household survey covering major provinces of Turkey was required to assess living conditions, income distribution, and social indicators as part of a national statistical program. The survey demanded multilingual surveyors fluent in Turkish, Kurdish, and Arabic to effectively reach diverse populations across the country. Access to both dense urban neighborhoods in Istanbul, Ankara, and Izmir as well as remote rural communities in Eastern Anatolia posed significant logistical challenges. The project required strict adherence to international statistical standards and a robust quality assurance framework to ensure data would be accepted by international bodies including the World Bank and Eurostat.
