Services
Target Research carries out research, evaluation and political analysis in Central Asia.
We work with international organisations, development programmes, universities, companies and business associations that need reliable evidence before they decide: on a programme, a market, a policy position or an investment. Each assignment is designed around the client’s question and led by a senior researcher from start to finish.
What we offer
Research and Evaluation
Tailored research projects designed to answer specific policy, programme, investment, or organisational questions. Assignments may combine interviews, focus groups, surveys, stakeholder mapping, evaluations, political economy analysis, and desk research. Recent work has examined governance, security, media environments, social cohesion, and development challenges across Central Asia.
Strategic Advisory
Direct access to senior analytical judgment on Central Asia, typically structured as a retainer. Clients use this for real-time orientation on fast-moving situations, background on specific actors and dynamics, and independent perspective when internal teams need an outside read.A small number of retainer relationships are maintained at any one time to ensure genuine responsiveness.
Target Trajectory Monitor
Target Trajectory Monitor (TTM) is Target Research’s monthly intelligence publication covering political, governance, and strategic developments across Central Asia. Each issue identifies the signals, risks, and trajectories most likely to shape the region over the coming 12–18 months.
Who we work with
Our clients range from international organisations and universities to companies and business associations in the region. Some come with a defined study in mind. Others come with a question, or with data of their own that they want analysed and put to use. Both are good starting points.
We take on a limited number of assignments at a time, so that each one gets senior attention. We decline work that would compromise our independence or professional standards.
How engagement works

Engagements are structured around a clearly defined scope, timeline, and deliverable.
