TMG began its work over 20 years ago in such far reaching corners of the globe as Haiti, India and Benin. Our projects have spanned every continents and all sectors of international development.

TMG performs its work under contract to the U.S. Agency for International Development and other bilateral and multilateral aid donors. In Washington, D.C. and more than 90 countries, we offer support services, technical assistance, financial management, training, and special expertise in communications, grants management, procurement, and performance monitoring.

TMG's experts are able to move across technical, management, and cultural terrain. Taken together, they have created a knowledge culture that can be drawn upon at any time. From U.S. offices to overseas locations our consultants and staff contribute to our ever expanding knowledge base.

South Asian Experience
USAID/India, evaluation of USAID/India and USAID/DCHA's humanitarian response and rehabilitation program for an earthquake in Gujarat State. India that affected 15.7 million individuals and caused $450 million in infrastructure losses. TMG assembled the eight-person evaluation team including the team leader and a design engineer from the U.S along with 6 local data collection staff. The evaluation focused on two components. The first examined USAID's rapid response program that provided $9 million in emergency assistance grants implemented by DART, CARE, WHO, UNDP, Catholic Relief Services (CRS), World Vision International (WV) and DOD. The second component focused on a recognized longer-term need for earthquake recovery launched through a new Special Objective, namely the Gujarat Earthquake Recovery Initiative (GERI). This latter program addressed the longer-term rehabilitation and reconstruction efforts through additional $8 million of grants to CARE, WV, and CRS to rebuild homes, community centers, schools, and re-instituting critical child survival and health services.

Caribean Experience
USAID/Haiti Education 2004 Project:
This project works to tackle the twin challenge of quality and efficiency through a set of service activities. This includes the: establishment of a quality network of 600 schools that receive a core set of services and an affiliated 400 schools that receive a reduced set of services; strengthening of education NGOs; and operations research on innovative ways to enhance community involvement in education and to increase girls' attendance. TMG and partner, the Academy for Educational Development, are taking an integrated approach to education improvement starting with the school at its core. The training of school directors and teachers is taking place primarily within clusters of schools while community development focuses on creating links and joint activities between a school and the families whose children attend that school. The use of distance education is providing a vehicle for delivering lessons to students, teachers, and school directors that overcomes the difficulties posed by the lack of transportation or education infrastructure.
