Who we are
An independent quality assurance and event verification firm
RAYID provides professional quality assurance and independent field verification across the Horn of Africa — for humanitarian organizations, development partners, governments, research institutions, and the private sector.
Independent Quality Assurance, Event Verification & Evidence-Based Communication Firm.
Our mandate
Established to close the gap between collected data and trusted evidence
RAYID is led by professionals with extensive experience in quality assurance, compliance, research, MEAL, and humanitarian and development programming.
Many organizations invest heavily in research, assessments, monitoring, and delivery — yet independent quality assurance of those processes remains limited. RAYID addresses this through objective, evidence-based assurance that strengthens accountability and reduces operational risk.
RAYID recognizes that research firms and implementing organizations conduct internal quality assurance. Our role is to provide independent verification that complements these efforts, offering donors and partners greater confidence that evidence, field activities, and reported findings are accurate, reliable, and independently assured.
Vision
To become the leading independent quality assurance and live verification partner, recognized for advancing excellence, accountability, and evidence-informed decision-making.
Mission
To strengthen the quality, integrity, and reliability of data informing decisions affecting lives through independent quality assurance services.
Guiding Principles
The standards that govern every assignment
Independence
RAYID maintains full separation and independence from the design and delivery of the programmes it verifies, and discloses any conflict of interest before an assignment begins.
Objectivity & Impartiality
Findings are based solely on verifiable evidence gathered through RAYID's methodologies, never on assumption, client preference, or pressure to deliver a favourable result.
Integrity
RAYID reports what it finds and does not suppress, soften, or delay reporting of quality concerns to protect a client relationship or project timeline.
Transparency
Methodology, sampling approach, thresholds, and limitations are disclosed clearly in every report so that clients can judge the reliability of RAYID's own findings.
Professionalism
Verifiers are trained, briefed, and supervised to a consistent standard. All tools, checklists, and field procedures are standardized before deployment.
Impact Orientation
Verification exists to improve decisions affecting lives, resources, trust and outcomes for affected communities and not simply to produce a report.
