This letter serves as a reference letter for the work executed by CESAR for SANAC: South Africa’s 2016 and 2018 Global AIDS Monitoring (GAM) reports. SANAC is not hesitant to recommend CESAR based on its ability to collate both historical and current Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), Tuberculosis (TB) and Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs) data, depicting trends and articulating bold and relevant recommendations. Additionally, CESAR’s strength is in illustrating both trends and the current situation of the national response through appropriate and meaningful infographics.

Ms Coceka Nogoduka

Executive Manager: Strategic Information, South African National AIDS Council

The Centre for Statistical Analysis and Research (CESAR) provided consultancy services for our “Standardised Patient Survey Study” in collaboration with the Wits School of Public Health. CESAR employs talented and knowledgeable professionals, whose methodical approach to devising surveys and organising fieldwork proved invaluable. We would collaborate with CESAR in future projects and would recommend their professional services.

Prof Mylene Lagarde

London School of Economics

I have worked with Braimoh Bello over the period 2013–early 2018. We have worked together on two evaluation assignments for which I was team leader. In both these assignments I have found Braimoh Bello to be a highly experienced and capable epidemiologist and statistician. He has demonstrated excellent skills in producing high-quality survey designs, and in delivering survey analysis and reports. Braimoh Bello is a strong team player with outstanding communication skills and very strong leadership skills.

Dr Terri Collins

Mott MacDonalds, United Kingdom

Braimoh and his team have demonstrated a high level of professional competence in both qualitative and quantitative research and valuable understanding of the South African basic education system. These skills were very helpful in refining our study approach. Overall, we are very happy with the progress made. Given our collaboration with CESAR, I would recommend CESAR for any future data collection and analysis research projects.

Dr Mxolisi Masango, PhD

Head: Analytics & Institutional Research Unit, University of the Witwatersrand

We had the pleasure of working with the Centre for Statistical Analysis and Research (CESAR). They had been our partner in conducting peer reviews for our research reports to ensure quality. Overall, I confirm that we have enjoyed working with them in all our projects and we have never complained about their quality of work and approach to research.
