We are value driven! We are led by our core values to ensure we can support you to make practical, meaningful and evidence-based improvements to your work:
-
We strive to help centre the views, perspectives and experiences of those with lived experience of the issues you work on, taking steps to find ways to facilitate people to engage in a safe, supportive and meaningful way.
-
Using thorough, and well thought out data collection and analysis, we help you to generate insightful data to prompt learning and improvement.
-
Complex problems and contexts require creative, flexible and tailored solutions. We strive on exploring creative ways to support monitoring and evaluation, and finding ways to enhance participation.
-
We have experience of managing programmes ourselves, and have supported dozens of organisations to improve their projects and strategies. We know how important it is to have practical, realistic and implementable recommendation and solutions to help you achieve your goals.
Patrick Regan,
Founder & Director
After over 10 years in the charity and NGO sector, Patrick founded the Rights Evaluation Studio, a consultancy blending creativity with rigorous research and evaluation standards for complex projects and programs.
Since setting up RES, Patrick has led all of RES’s projects, working with almost 30 different organisations to engage with lived-experience centred data to tackle strategic questions affecting their programmes, strategies, and approaches to monitoring, evaluation and learning.
Before setting up RES, Patrick worked in monitoring, evaluation, and programme management at organisations like Prostate Cancer UK, Media Legal Defence Initiative, and the European Human Rights Advocacy Centre. His expertise and commitment to democracy, rule of law, and international human rights have led to the development of innovative tools and systems that effectively capture outcome and impact data for challenging projects.
Additionally, he has successfully designed projects and proposals, securing significant grants from trusts, foundations, and government donors for international human rights initiatives. Patrick holds a Masters of Research (MRes) in Social Research, Law, and Legal Studies from the University of London (his research dissertation explored the impact of leading judgments from the European Court of Human rights through a quantitative analysis). He also has a BA in Spanish and Latin American Studies from Cardiff University.
