Educating individuals on the benefits of the individual, farmer-owned, business-oriented cooperatives, which includes increased profitability.
TMG evaluated a cluster of six projects over a two-year period. It included mid-term and final evaluations of projects related to Economic and Financial Services, Trade & Economic Policy Reform; Assistance for Trade Reform; and Intellectual Property Rights Assistance.
TMG conducted an end of project evaluation to 2010 to determine whether the project achieved the expected specific results; and to examine the factors that facilitated and/or hindered its achievement of planned results. The evaluation was also to assess the extent to which the assistance provided by the project contributed to overall performance in delivery of health services in Uganda. It also identified the remaining gaps/weaknesses in HRH systems in the country to inform implementation of a new Capacity Program to be supported by USAID/Uganda for five years. The evaluation adopted a qualitative methodology, which included review of more than 80 documents, and interviews with over 80 respondents in Kampala and six out of 12 districts reached by focused project activities in northern and western Uganda. Data analysis and conclusions were based on triangulation of qualitative data from respondents and quantitative information extracted from reviewed documents.
In conducting this evaluation, TMG analytically examined the ACE project to: 1) determine how appropriate the ACE approach was for capacity building to each client organization; 2) determine the extent to which ACE has achieved its intended results for each client organizations, what factors facilitated and/or hindered the achievements of planned results and what are the remaining gaps/weaknesses in systems support for each organization; 3) determine the extent to which the capacity building provided by ACE has contributed to the client organizations’ overall performance in delivery of HIV/AIDS programs; 4) determine the cost-effectiveness of the ACE interventions; 5) identify the key lessons learned for capacity building programs in Uganda and elsewhere; and 6) identify positive or negative unintended results from ACE’s interventions and what factors determined such unintended results.
For the Institutional Support Services Contract to support the Office of Science and Technology, TMG provided administrative and programmatic technical support. Over a two year period, TMG hired over two dozen staff and determined their scopes of work using a collaborative, discussion, and needs based process. Activities by TMG also included obtaining security clearances and creating performance evaluation protocols.
Under this contract, TMG provided quality and comprehensive Monitoring and Evaluation services that enhanced USAID capacity to document performance in achieving its development objectives and to comply with Automated Directives Systems (ADS) and other Agency performance management policies. Support was provided in three key areas: performance management systems and activities; evaluations and assessments and dissemination of their results; and information dissemination and capacity building for Monitoring and Evaluation. TMG conducted 249 DQAs, reviewed 100 monitoring plans, and trained approximately 1400 people. Overall, MEMS II played a key role in building the capacity of USAID Technical Offices, IPs and the Government of Nigeria (GON) counterparts to improve monitoring and evaluation functions relating to the USAID portfolio of projects.
Under this contract, TMG provided comprehensive monitoring and evaluation support services to the Mission, serving all SO teams and their Implementing Partners (IPs) in the forms of performance monitoring, evaluation assistance, and surveys, analyses and assessments.
Under this short term contract, TMG assembled a team of Monitoring and Evaluation Specialists to develop a complete Performance Management Plan for each SO to guide the data collection process and proper use of performance management measures.
Under this task order, TMG provided recommendations on USG’s engagement with the private sector in Communication and Information Technology (ICT), health, and energy; provided analysis of key investment opportunities in ICT, health, and energy for the private sector; and outlined public-sector interventions needed to facilitate these investments. As a part of the process, TMG convened with key stakeholders and informants; identified key private-sector actors; identified high-potential opportunities for private sector investment; prioritized investments; identified public-sector investments or interventions, naming potential sources of funding or support; and provided recommendations on potential public and private-sector partners, national and international. TMG’s plans focused on high-impact strategies to yield substantial, measurable, and sustained economic development.
