Advisory Services
EduData Trust is a solo advisory practice. Every engagement is led directly by the principal — no junior analysts, no outsourced delivery. Clients receive the same senior attention at every stage, from scoping through final handover.
EduData Trust operates as a single-principal firm. All client work — scoping, delivery, reporting, and advisory — is conducted by the founding advisor. There is no sub-contracting of substantive analytical work.
A formal conflict-of-interest screening is conducted prior to accepting any engagement. Where a conflict is identified or cannot be adequately mitigated, the engagement is declined. A published exclusion register is maintained and updated following each screening.
Client data, government documents, and system-level information reviewed during engagements are not retained beyond the contractual delivery period. Data handling terms are agreed in writing prior to commencement of any scoping or diagnostic work.
EduData Trust engagements are structured to align with IDA, IsDB, and UNICEF individual consultant procurement modalities, supporting straightforward contracting for multilateral programme teams and development finance institutions.
Each engagement type is fixed in scope and designed to produce a defined, high-quality deliverable set. Custom scoping is available for multilateral programme requirements.
A full five-pillar diagnostic producing a composite readiness score, pillar-level gap analysis, prioritised 24-month capability roadmap, Data Readiness Ledger, and executive briefing deck. Suitable for national education ministries, multilateral-funded readiness programmes, and pre-investment screening.
Deliverable-scoped technical assistance for UNESCO, UNICEF, World Bank, and regional development bank programme teams. Scope may include diagnostic sub-components, thematic deep-dives, country readiness profiles, or framework adaptation for regional deployment. Structured to meet standard individual consultant TOR requirements.
Independent advisory to ministries and agencies evaluating, structuring, or governing strategic partnerships with EdTech providers. Covers partnership readiness assessment, data governance framework design for public-private data flows, and board-level advisory on AI procurement standards. Strictly advisory — no commercial relationships with EdTech vendors are maintained.
Rapid readiness screening for EdTech investors, impact funds, and development finance institutions evaluating market-entry conditions or portfolio company deployment contexts. Produces a concise country or system-level readiness brief calibrated to investment decision-making requirements.
EduData Trust holds itself to the same data governance standards it assesses in client systems. The following commitments apply to every engagement, without exception.
All enquiries are reviewed by the principal directly. Responses are typically provided within two business days. A conflict-of-interest screening is conducted prior to formal scoping for all prospective engagements.
