Leading Monitoring & Evaluation / Social Research in Fiji
At Insight and Social, we bring precision and cultural understanding to Monitoring & Evaluation (M&E) and social research across Fiji. As the country balances modernisation, climate resilience, and indigenous identity, M&E plays a vital role in ensuring that development efforts are effective, inclusive, and future-focused.
We work alongside government bodies, civil society organization, and local communities to design and implement data systems that inform impactful, long-term decision-making.
M&E and Social Research in Fiji: Supporting Inclusive Development
Fiji is a hub for Pacific regional leadership, yet local challenges remain in rural access, climate adaptation, and gender equity. While many development projects are underway, without strong M&E frameworks, it becomes difficult to understand what works and what doesn’t.
Robust evaluation enables Fiji’s programs to evolve, scale, and meet the needs of its most vulnerable populations.
Key Development Challenges in Fiji
1. Rural Disparities and Access to Services:
Many Fijians living in outer islands or interior highlands have limited access to health, education, and infrastructure. M&E helps to target and measure interventions aimed at bridging this gap.
2. Climate Resilience and Disaster Risk Management:
Cyclones, floods, and rising sea levels affect thousands each year. Effective M&E systems track the success of adaptation strategies and inform future disaster planning.
3. Gender and Social Inclusion:
While Fiji has made progress in gender equality, barriers persist for women and marginalize groups. M&E ensures that programs are equitable and inclusive from design to delivery.
4. Youth Engagement and Employment:
With a growing youth population, data-driven solutions are needed to improve job readiness, vocational training, and community engagement.
The Role of M&E in Fiji’s Development Agenda
M&E enables stakeholders to:
1. Make evidence-based policy and program decisions
2. Capture community feedback and improve accountability
3. Demonstrate success to funders and partners
4. Monitor environmental and social progress over time
5. Embed learning in government and NGO systems
