Who we are

International Bureau for Management and Development Support

Founded in 2018 and registered in Ouagadougou, BIMADES Consulting works across the whole project cycle: diagnosis, design, monitoring and evaluation, learning reviews and capacity building.

The firm works for donors and international organisations (UNDP, Enabel, UNOPS, UNESCO, IOM, Oxfam, CECI, Stromme, Humanity & Inclusion), as well as public bodies and civil-society organisations.

Our teams travel: data is collected on site, triangulated and verified. That is what separates a usable evaluation from a desk diagnosis.

SAWADO Aimé, Managing Director
A word from the Managing Director

“From data to decision”

Welcome to the BIMADES Consulting web platform. If you are here, you likely carry a project, an organisation or an ambition that deserves serious support. You are in the right place, and I personally welcome you.

BIMADES Consulting was born in 2018 of one simple conviction: a decision must rest on sound evidence, and an organisation only draws real value from its data once it turns them into a system, a business intelligence that is modelled, equipped and embedded in its practice. The rise of big data and the advance of artificial intelligence have not weakened that conviction: they have made it decisive.

Listening, collecting, analysing, then placing that intelligence in the hands of those who decide and act: this is what we do, from baseline study to final evaluation, from monitoring and evaluation systems to training and advisory work.

Our motivation is not only technical: it is deeply human. Behind every assignment there are clients, communities and families relying on the accuracy of our analyses to move forward. That is why we work with methodological rigour, integrity and a demand for quality, never losing sight of the realities of those we serve.

To you, technical and financial partners, companies, organisations, public institutions, consultants and learners: I invite you to place your trust in us and to build, with us, solutions fitted to a world in motion. Our teams are fully at your disposal to turn your data into decisions, and your decisions into lasting impact. That is what our commitment means: striving for excellence, innovating for the future.
