Design, Monitoring and Evaluation Services
IGPMS, design, monitoring and evaluation services help our clients create evidence-based programming and measure progress toward objectives. We help our clients to set realistic goals and improve performance. IGPMS offers integrated monitoring and evaluation solutions from project design through to implementation and closedown. Our goal is to help our clients remain accountable, while improving the quality of the services they deliver. Our systems analyse performance and whether targets have been achieved, ensuring the five core standards of ‘relevance’, ‘effectiveness’, ‘efficiency’, ‘impact’ and ‘sustainability’
What we Do
IGPMS offers integrated programme design, monitoring and evaluation solutions encompassing complete programme cycles. We help our clients improve the impact, efficiency and sustainability of their services, while providing accountability and insight. Our team has developed innovative methods to gain unprecedented access in sensitive and remote areas, gathering high quality data through tested and bias free approaches.
30+ Years Of Experience
IGPMS advocates incorporating the programme design (or redesign) phase into the monitoring and evaluation cycle. Whilst monitoring is intended to provide decision-makers with continuous information about a programme’s status and development in relation to its goals and objectives, evaluations are reviews focused on understanding links of causality between project activities and observed changes. A continual design-evaluate-redesign loop is essential to effective programming, as environment in which the programme or project is being implemented change frequently and often dramatically, and donors adapt their resources and objectives to an ever-changing context.
Appraisals and Evaluations determine the rate and extent of success and measures the outcomes of a project in a more defined and structured manner. IGPM evaluation is informed by the need to have structured evaluations practices in all project endeavours. IGPM undertakes and develop tools and techniques that capture key indicators that inform effective project evaluation of ongoing project or terminated project. IGPMS conducts project and programme evaluations on behalf of organizations. These include:
- Baseline surveys/pre-project evaluation
- On-going project evaluations
- End of project evaluations
- Post-project evaluation
- Business Development
1.1.1 What we Offer
We work with our clients to deliver:
- Project and programme design
We collaborate with implementers to explore and clearly explain the logic that underpins their projects as the foundation of effective interventions. We then help devise appropriate strategies and activities to achieve these goals in informed by their settings.
- Monitoring and evaluation delivery
We manage the monitoring and evaluation components of projects to track progress, improve systems and measure outcomes. We are committed to providing decision makers with credible, insightful and actionable data to inform judgments and allow programmes to evolve and adapt to the fluid contexts where they work.
- Third-party monitoring and evaluation
We offer independent verification and appraisal services to donors and organisations where access is challenging and objective assessment is required. Based on experience we tailor cutting-edge approaches, such as Digital Data Gathering Techniques, SMS feedback mechanisms, to enhance visibility, validate outputs and triangulate observations both in stable and fragile areas.
- Evaluations
We conduct evaluations at each stage of the project cycle. This includes ex-ante, mid-term and ex-post evaluations that utilise mixed methods, including qualitative and quantitative tools, to assess the effectiveness of internal processes, measure outcomes and impact, and offer recommendations for how programmes can be improved. IGPMS is well versed in experimental and quasi-experimental methods to contribute to a growing evidence base of rigorous evaluations on what works and what doesn’t in any regions.
How we Work
Sensitivity
Design, monitoring and evaluation is a complex series of undertakings in any implementation context, including but not limited to conflict and fragile environments. IGPMS advocates a cyclical (as opposed to linear) design-evaluate-redesign approach through which it is continually necessary to test the Theories of Change and underlying assumptions based upon a constantly developing understanding of context. Implementers must be prepared for interventions to perform unexpectedly, and be ready to adapt.
