IEC’s CORE VALUES
Why M & E?
The practice of monitoring and evaluation (M & E) plays a critical role in the improvement of businesses and organizations. Although monitoring is a different concept from evaluation, the two concepts complement each other through mutual support.
Monitoring and evaluation is not a one-time activity but an ongoing practice. Evaluations provide a solid base of evidence for informed understanding of progress. Carefully and strategically designed evaluations that concentrate on the end-users help to point out what works and what does not. Equally, they help entities measure progress according to plan and they highlight results that were not planned for but are equally essential.
Similarly, evaluations reveal whether programmes were designed effectively, suggest areas for improvement, redirect financial flows, and suggestions to discontinue a flawed intervention.
Rigorous evaluations anchored on robust monitoring systems help bolster adaptive management and learning necessitating the use of evaluation evidence in decision making to improve the execution and effective delivery of results.
Implementing assignments in Kenya and at multiple levels, field and programmatic projects, IEC strives to make sense of complex ongoing processes to ensure that evaluative evidence can transform efficiency, performance and impact of an entity. We pair our thematic and contextual expertise with a concrete understanding of evaluation theories and approaches. IEC’s monitoring and evaluation services are practical and add value to end users and are contextually tailored and methodologically rigorous. Our model to monitoring, evaluation and learning puts the user’s needs at the heart of our approach ensuring that evidence generated is relevant and is shared in a simple and straightforward manner that champions learning to build greater ownership and implementation of findings.
Our M & E professionals have a deep yet practical experience necessary for designing and implementing both qualitative and quantitative evaluations that are multifaceted to produce evidence-based findings. We are experienced in the provision of site specific and multi-sectoral and portfolio level evaluations and learning assignments.
