We offer performance monitoring, third-party monitoring, and data verification services to help clients plan, collect, and use the evidence they need to improve their work.

Monitoring provides structured, routine data to inform implementation and adapt interventions for increased effectiveness. This regular tracking and examination of implementation, results, and environmental changes provides rapid feedback to assess progress and refine strategies and programming.
We provide Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning (MEL) system design, data quality assessments, remote and third-party monitoring, and data verification. For recurrent monitoring tasks, we create automated tools and user-friendly dashboards to help systems work more efficiently. We develop internal capacity through mentorship on practical approaches to ensure sustainability in the monitoring process. Where useful, we also incorporate AI to help scrape, forecast, and aggregate data. A focus on understanding each client’s needs helps us develop systems and processes that enable accountability and adaptive management through performance and context monitoring, and with our cadre of experts, we ensure monitoring data delivers the evidence needed to improve results.

We have helped our clients set up systems and integrate monitoring data to make their work more efficient and effective. We are a leader in working with clients to monitor the effectiveness of their strategies and have partnered with foundations, the U.S. Government, local governments, and others to establish monitoring plans. For one client we designed a custom online database to consolidate, organize, and analyze information, which included performance monitoring data across a large and complex portfolio. For another, we set up an interactive online dashboard that integrated secondary context data with project-level monitoring and GIS data to inform evidence-based decisions in the face of external shocks.
