Whether our work takes the form of consultation to schools, professional development for teachers, disaster relief or agriculture project assessment, The Mitchell group is ready to meet the needs of USAID or other clients by making sure the right M & E tools are in place. We undertake rigorous field-testing of our programs and serve as evaluators on a wide range of initiatives developed by other organizations. In our commitment to building bridges between research and practice, we also help others develop their skills and strengthen their ability to base their instructional decisions on data and analysis. In an era of diminished resource allocations by governments, it is vital that tax payers and their representatives know that money spent in development projects is being used wisely and with optimum results. Confronted with shrinking resources, USAID operating units managers rely increasingly on timely, accurate information that monitors progress towards meeting objectives/benchmarks so they can learn what kinds of resource allocation and use are giving them the best results. Management and determining resource requirements for development and humanitarian programs is only made possible by collecting, verifying, analyzing and reporting information. Gathering and sharing relevant, accurate, verifiable information is crucial to informed decision-making, particularly in an era of decentralized decision-making. |
