Participatory Evaluation

“Do the best you can until you know better. Then when you know better, do better.”
- Maya Angelou

Praxis believes that If we are not getting feedback in real-time we’re missing the chance to improve as we go. We develop customized tools and approaches in order to assess, fix and improve all in real time.

“No research without action, no action without research.”
