Common questions about social & economic research
What is social research?+
Social research studies social, economic and civic conditions — public opinion, financial inclusion, technology access, health and development outcomes — to inform policy, programs and public institutions rather than commercial decisions alone.
What is market feasibility or development research used for in Nepal?+
In Nepal, this kind of research typically supports government agencies, NGOs and development partners in understanding conditions on the ground — for example financial inclusion (access-to-finance research), technology adoption (ICT research), or program outcomes (monitoring & evaluation studies).
What is monitoring and evaluation (M&E) research?+
Monitoring and evaluation research tracks a program's performance against its stated objectives over time, measuring whether intended outcomes are actually being achieved — one of Mark Data Nepal's social and economic research services.
What is an opinion poll survey?+
An opinion poll survey measures public opinion on a defined social, economic or civic issue at a point in time, using a representative sample of respondents.
