Boutique Policy & Research Studio
Atelier Bleu is a boutique consulting and research studio dedicated to sustainability, public policy, and inclusive development across the globe. We specialize in agile, internationally‑aligned services that support institutional clients and research funders with high‑impact deliverables grounded in ethics, evidence, and local realities.

Agile, ethical, bilingual consulting services for policy, research, and systems change.
Policy Advisory
We support national and regional strategies (NAPs, NDCs, SDGs), institutional frameworks, and inclusive development policies rooted in climate justice. Drawing from experience across international development arenas — from EC-funded projects in Africa to stakeholder-driven planning in the Caribbean — we help shape public policies that are locally adapted, gender-responsive, and globally coherent.Proposal & Grant Development
We support organizations with donor-aligned concept notes, theories of change, logical frameworks, and budgets - ensuring proposals are not only technically sound but strategically position. We bring deep experience in development funding with the GCF, IDB, EU, UN, and philanthropic donors.Research & Ethics Consulting
We design and implement cross-disciplinary projects grounded in behavioral, economic, and cultural analysis. From ethnographic fieldwork to experimental survey design, we build methodologies that reveal the human dimensions of policy and development challenges. We also offer guidance on research methods, open science integration, IRB/GDPR compliance, and participatory approaches.Monitoring & Evaluation (M&E)
Our Monitoring & Evaluation services help organizations move from activity tracking to adaptive, evidence-based decision-making. We design Theories of Change, KPI dashboards, donor reporting tools, and capacity-building workshops, aligning our M&E frameworks with OECD-DAC and SDG indicators.Private Sector (CSR-aligned or ESG-conscious)
We help companies craft meaningful Corporate Social Responsibility strategies rooted in sustainability, environmental literacy, and community impact. Our services include ESG assessments, SDG alignment, and the design of localized initiatives that reflect responsible business values — especially within island and coastal contexts.Data & Knowledge Management
We support organizations in building ethical, efficient data systems for research, monitoring, and reporting. Services include data governance, privacy compliance (e.g., GDPR), data strategy for research, grants and evaluations, and tools for knowledge sharing. Our work helps teams move from data collection to actionable insight.Open Science Protocols
We help institutions and research teams implement robust Open Science protocols to ensure transparency, reproducibility, and ethical data use. This includes developing data sharing policies, pre-registration workflows, metadata standards, FAIR data alignment, and integration of open access publishing practices. Whether you’re starting a new project or strengthening existing ones, we support your transition to more transparent, collaborative, and globally recognized research standards.
