Program Perfomance and Monitoring
Measuring and demonstrating the outcomes and impacts of investment in interventions and programs is critical to achieving change and continuous improvement. Impact Research Network has a team of researchers with a proven track record in developing, implementing, and evaluating Monitoring, Evaluation, and Learning (ME&L) systems. We offer expertise and innovative performance and context monitoring services to help clients plan, collect, and use the evidence they need to improve their development work.
Monitoring provides structured, routine data to inform implementation and adapt development interventions for increased effectiveness. This regular tracking and examining implementation, results, and environmental changes provides rapid feedback that funders and implementers need to assess progress and refine their 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 set up 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. Understanding each client’s needs helps us develop systems and processes that enable accountability and adaptive management through performance and context monitoring. With our cadre of experts, we ensure monitoring data delivers the evidence needed to improve results. Key services include:
- Monitoring Systems Development (Frameworks and Processes)
- Project/Activity Monitoring
- Remote and Third-Party Monitoring
- Context monitoring
- Data Quality Assessments and Verification
- GIS Mapping and Geospatial Monitoring
- Dashboard Development
