NOVA Strategic Research & Advisory is an independent Palestinian firm that helps organizations generate trusted evidence, learn from implementation and act with greater clarity. Based in Ramallah and operating across the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, and the Gaza Strip, NOVA provides research, evaluation, monitoring, learning and strategic advisory services for humanitarian, development, recovery and public-policy initiatives.
Our work spans the complete evidence cycle. We help clients frame the right questions, design robust methodologies, collect reliable quantitative and qualitative data, verify results, interpret findings and convert learning into realistic recommendations. Our technical portfolio includes external evaluations, baseline and endline studies, third-party monitoring and results verification, applied research, needs and institutional assessments, MEAL system design, data-quality assurance, strategic planning, programme design, capacity strengthening, evidence synthesis and bilingual reporting.
NOVA's strength lies in the combination of senior technical leadership and locally embedded operational capacity. Our teams understand the social, political and institutional realities that shape programs in Palestine, while applying internationally recognized research and evaluation standards.
We work through multidisciplinary specialists, trained field personnel and robust quality-control systems that support ethical, inclusive and protection-sensitive delivery in complex settings.
We believe evidence is valuable only when people can trust it and use it. That is why every NOVA assignment is designed around independence, methodological rigor, respectful engagement, clear communication and practical utility. Our purpose is not simply to produce reports. It is to help partners strengthen accountability, improve performance and make decisions that create more relevant and lasting results.
To strengthen the effectiveness, accountability and positive impact of humanitarian and development action through reliable evidence, strategic analysis and locally grounded advisory support.
A region in which public-interest decisions and humanitarian and development investments are guided by trusted evidence, local knowledge and accountable learning.
We will approach every assignment with independence, care and intellectual honesty. We will listen before we design, verify before we conclude and communicate findings in ways that help partners act.
