Monde Moderne has partnered with the WolfGroup to pilot a new approach to conducting evaluations of humanitarian and development programmes: linking traditional approaches to evaluation with ethnographic film and research. The WolfGroup is a Geneva-based consultancy firm that specializes in connecting expertise from the public and private sectors to provide integrated and innovative solutions that address the real world challenges of our clients. Their international resource base of senior consultants brings together expertise from humanitarian, development, corporate, academic, defence, and security sectors. Amongst their clients they include international organisations, multinational corporations, NGOs, research institutes, think tanks and government agencies.

Monde Moderne will complement traditional evaluations and reviews with broadcast quality video products that record behaviour, customs, life experiences and narratives of programme staff and beneficiaries. Our belief is that these ethnographic films make for more vibrant and compelling beneficiary/programme stories and are a critical means to facilitate the sharing of our evaluation's results to the client. Monde Moderne will be an integral part of the WolfGroup's  evaluation teams, producing self-contained research films, interactive DVD or embeddable video clips which can be easily circulated internally by the client, serving as instructive tools, in helping to shape the knowledge management and learning of the organization, or in highlighting the nuanced strengths and weaknesses of programmes and dialogue with stakeholders.

We are convinced that this unique approach corresponds with our passion to deliver integrated solutions that will serve as a catalyst in the development of new strategies, policies and programmes.
