A new approach strengthens the technical quality of our programs

Location: Ethiopia and Nepal

In 2011, we began developing a new standardized approach to evaluate and strengthen the technical quality of our country programs. This approach and accompanying tools address essential dimensions of technical quality, including program design, implementation, monitoring and evaluation. Assessments piloted in 2011 with our Ethiopia and Nepal Country Offices revealed the power of this approach to identify promising program practices and innovations and prioritize programmatic needs for technical leadership. Lessons learned from these assessments are used to inform how we support our programs worldwide and ensure that we achieve consistently high standards.
