Turning evidence into collaborative sense-making, learning and action on complex challenges
Sophoi
Sophoi provides innovative and practical monitoring, evaluation and learning (MEL) support — helping people and organisations turn evidence into sense-making, learning and action.
We work with a wide range of donors, funders, re-granters and the partners they support on complex challenges — with particular depth in climate, environment and adaptation.
We pioneered ESLA Loops — Evidence Sense-making Learning Action Loops — our approach to MEL on complex challenges. It works through three steps: Evidence, AI-supported Knowledge Gardening and Collaborative Sense-making, valuing the sense-making ‘process’ as much as the evaluation ‘product’.
Sophoi’s recent clients include the World Bank, the Adaptation Fund, the Green Climate Fund, the Clean Air Fund, ClientEarth, the Climate Emergency Collaboration Group, the Pacific Institute, IUCN, Climate-KIC and the Mastercard Foundation.
Our work is innovative, collaborative, practical and evidence-based — increasingly combining human-centred conversation with rigorous, AI-enabled evidence synthesis. We are proud of our social and ecological contribution, both in the work we do and how we work.
