Consulting and Research
Multidisciplinary consulting and applied research that help organisations understand complex challenges, assess opportunities and turn evidence into practical decisions.
Clear evidence. Practical advice. Better decisions.
Daira Sabz Group brings technical, engineering, environmental and social expertise together to help clients address complex development and business questions. We connect field evidence, analysis and stakeholder perspectives to develop recommendations grounded in the realities of each assignment.
Consulting and research shaped around your needs
- Social and socio-economic research: Baseline studies, needs assessments and participatory research to understand communities, livelihoods, energy access and institutional conditions.
- Market, enterprise and value-chain studies: Demand and market assessments, enterprise analysis and value-chain research to identify constraints, opportunities and priorities for business development.
- Feasibility and strategic advisory: Technical and socio-economic assessments, policy and strategy advice, and decision-support studies for programme and investment planning.
- Environmental, climate and resource research: Studies and advisory on environmental conditions, climate risks, water resources, land use and biodiversity, linked to project planning and sustainability objectives.
- Spatial analysis and stakeholder engagement: GIS, remote sensing and modelling, combined with consultation and mixed-method research to connect spatial evidence with local knowledge.
From the right questions to useful recommendations
We begin by clarifying the decisions your organisation needs to make. We then define the study questions, scope, methods and outputs. Desk review, surveys, interviews, group discussions, field investigation and spatial analysis are selected to suit the assignment. Analysis brings the evidence together, explains its limitations and identifies practical options for action.

Our group connects engineering and environmental knowledge with social research and business analysis. This multidisciplinary approach helps clients examine technical feasibility alongside community needs, institutional conditions and market realities. We focus on clear reporting, context-sensitive recommendations and findings that can inform the next decision.
