Trusted by industry leaders
We benefited from the expertise of JL Consulting as Technical Advisor for the development of our establishment's project. We were very satisfied — they helped our establishment improve its organizational model and set up the Caribbean network for hearing and visual impairment.
JL Consulting delivers with remarkable efficiency. Their teams understand operational constraints on the ground, respect timelines, and produce rigorous, usable work. A partner we can count on for fast, high-quality execution.
The best project planning is the one that gets implemented, monitored, and continuously adjusted to context. That's the philosophy we bring to every engagement.

JL Consulting (JLC) is a Haitian-founded consulting firm specializing in project evaluation, MEAL system design, data intelligence, protection, and community development. We serve international NGOs, UN agencies, impact finance clients, and government partners — converting field data into programmatic intelligence that drives real decisions.
Founded in 2011, our work is grounded in the realities of Haiti and fragile contexts — where data is scarce, logistics are complex, and the stakes are high. We have conducted more than 50 evaluations across health, education, protection, food security, WASH, and economic development.
Today, JLC operates at a critical inflection point: our humanitarian MEAL expertise is evolving into a broader data intelligence capability — serving not just INGOs, but impact funds, development finance institutions, and local financial institutions across Haiti and West Africa.
To empower organizations working in fragile contexts with the data systems, analytical intelligence, and evaluation rigor they need to achieve sustainable, measurable impact.
To become the leading data intelligence and MEAL advisory firm for development and impact finance actors operating across Haiti, the Caribbean, and West Africa.
Baseline, mid-term, and final evaluations using OECD-DAC criteria. RCTs, quasi-experimental designs, and contribution analysis across health, education, protection, WASH, and food security.
Full MEAL architecture design and diagnostics. KoboToolbox, CommCare, ODK setup with Power BI and Tableau dashboards. Aligned to USAID PMEP, EU logframe, OCHA, and World Bank M&E standards.
Portfolio dashboards, PAR tracking, IRIS+/SDG scorecards, and financial literacy measurement for MFIs, DFIs, and impact funds. Bridging impact data and investment-grade reporting.
Sensitive evaluations in child protection, GBV, DSSR, and displaced populations. Gender-sensitive rapid assessments, GESI analysis, and safeguarding compliance across USAID, AFD, and EU-funded programs.
Real-time adaptive program dashboards, predictive risk flags, and context-to-decision briefs. Statistical analysis in SPSS and R, qualitative analysis in MaxQDA — translated into donor-ready language.
Training NGO staff and local organizations on MEAL methodologies, data collection tools, and adaptive management. Theory of change facilitation and strategic planning for local and national partners.

Plus a cross-border presence in the Dominican Republic and an active West Africa expansion (Senegal, Côte d'Ivoire, Ghana, Cameroon).
These 15 missions form the empirical base that helped us build our 4-variable decision framework — a predictive model (85% accuracy, 100% for firm Go/No-Go) we now apply to every new programme. Filter by sector to explore the case studies.
Internal analysis — These metrics and classifications stem from JL Consulting's cross-portfolio analysis, not from raw client data. Any client-identifying figures are based on publicly available information or data shared with explicit authorization.
We build evaluations that are rigorous enough for donors and clear enough for field teams. Three things set us apart.
Every report answers the questions you actually asked — with honest conclusions, useful recommendations, and no jargon padding.
Haitian-founded, with evaluators who have worked every department. We know the field, the partners, and the constraints — before we arrive.
Aligned with OECD-DAC, USAID PMEP, EU logframe and World Bank standards. Your next report will pass the audit — and move the decision.
A word on method. We combine quantitative and qualitative approaches — surveys, KII, FGD, MSC, outcome harvesting — calibrated to your question. Behind the scenes, we draw on an internal decision framework built from cross-portfolio analysis of 10+ evaluations, which helps us spot what works, what doesn't, and why. You get the insights; we handle the rigour.
