Angkor Research and Consulting Ltd. was founded in 2013 by Mr. Ian Ramage. Previously the head of one of the leading research institutions in Cambodia, Mr. Ramage conducted over 120 contracts (including 45 large-scale impact evaluations) from 1999 until 2012, when the shareholders made the decision to close the company. In 2013, Mr. Ramage and senior staff began Angkor Research, bringing the same international standards and local knowledge to their new research projects. Angkor Research specializes into conducting high-quality research, monitoring and evaluation for a wide range of customers (government ministries, bilateral organizations, NGOs, etc.) and profits from its Director's and staff's extensive experience in managing social research projects in the fields of environment, agriculture, public health, communications, development and economics/finance. Angkor Research staff also have extensive experience working with Cambodian governmental and ministerial authorities, and are able to conduct these relationships in a professional and respectful manner. Angkor Research follows international standards and best practices in its own work, and encourage their adoption throughout the sector. Based on our own market research, we believe we have the highest research standards in the country, with rigorous sampling and stringent quality control procedures, and double data entry, cleaning and verification of all inconsistencies in data sets. We are constantly striving to improve our procedures and streamline our processes.
