We believe learning adds value.
We enhance development-programming performance through a customized, participatory process. Our approach measures program impact, relevance, effectiveness, efficiency, and sustainability – during and post-implementation – and highlights both success and challenges.
ISG has implemented impact evaluations for clients located both in conflict and/or emergency settings and contexts where emergencies have given way for post conflict development and reconstruction. ISG provides a full set of monitoring and evaluation services, assisting organizations in the design, management and review of monitoring systems for programs and projects. ISG also undertakes external evaluation studies of individual projects, of national policies and programs, of institutions and their partnerships using a multidisciplinary approach – connecting technical processes with the social, economic and institutional elements.
While ISG’s staff are adept at using both qualitative and quantitative data sets, within logical and results based frameworks, our experience with conflict related contexts and with programming that has goals that are difficult to measure or quantify (i.e. conflict transformation, political change, human development and capacity building) allows us to work with our clients to ensure our customized approach delivers efficient, comprehensive analysis that includes a review of all intended program outputs and success indicators as well as stakeholder satisfaction and experiences, thereby also examining broader, indirect impacts of any given program. Finally, the depth of ISG’s evaluation approach helps to inform similar-styled activities for the future by providing detailed recommendations and lessons learned.
