CHAD is a team of professional consultants providing consulting services to NGOs, government departments, donors, UN agencies, and the private sector in Malawi and other countries. We have a well-established working partnership with the Ministry of Health in Malawi under the Reproductive Health Division and other divisions, the Centre for Health Community Health Sciences Unit (CHSU).

Our team of associates is familiar with and has experience in providing consultancy services in the evaluation of qualitative and quantitative research, baseline surveys need assessment studies, randomized control trials, and operation research studies to mention but a few.
