The diagnostic of M&E systems was conducted using the Assessing for Results (A4R®) process and software. 25 professionals received a Masters Certificate Diploma in Monitoring & Evaluation and Information Systems from University Laval and IDEA International. National Guidelines were elaborated for the monitoring and evaluation system for the National Strategic Development Plan’s implementation. The program budgeting methodology, in particular the assessment of the budget strategic plan and the aide-memoire for program budget were reviewed using elements of the Budgeting for Results (B4R®) process and software. 179 officials followed a professional workshop on program budgeting.

Around 250 professionals were trained in a Build-an-Indicator Workshop. The Budgeting for Results (B4R®) and Monitoring for Results (M4R®) processes and software were adjusted to the context of Guyana. Logic models and Performance Measurement Frameworks were developed for the Ministry of Public Health and the Ministry of Public Security. B4R® and M4R® are web-based business intelligence tools that help provide relevant information for planning, budgeting, and monitoring for results. In particular, they help articulate a theory of change for all programs, articulate planned results and budget allocations, conduct budget scenario analysis, and support the monitoring and reporting processes during implementation of the yearly budget.

MAIN RESULTS

IDEA was contracted to provide services aimed at improving our performance measurement and monitoring, evaluation and reporting systems. In undertaking this assignment, they have applied their M4R® computer application which enabled our organization to reach another level of organizational development. It enabled a much better articulation of the performance measurement frameworks of our Regional CDM Strategy, institutional corporate plan, programs and projects. The system, complete with dashboards, early warning system and automatic generation of reports makes my work and that of my directors much easier. Working with the IDEA experts I have been really impressed with their combination of rigorous analytical framework, their applied approach, and frank, but respectful dialogue in the best interest of CDEMA. In that regard I am more than happy to stand in reference for the quality and efficient service they offer.

M. Ronald H. JacksonExecutive Director, CDEMA (Barbados)

Over the three assignments performed by IDEA for the Agency of Partnership for Progress, the consultants have always demonstrated a professionalism that goes beyond satisfactory delivery of services, a great concern for results, and the desire to develop good business relationships. IDEA’s experts are committed to work with us to effectively implement good project management and monitoring and evaluation practices that will ensure optimal benefits of the projects being undertaken.

As a project management practitioner, I have gained invaluable project management insights through short-term training in project management and monitoring and evaluation at IDEA International. IDEA affords its participants an opportunity to have a solid and unique blending and appreciation of theoretical and practical aspects of project management.Mr. Martin M. LiywaliiNational Project Coordinator,Agricultural Development Support Project (Zambia).

I like to work in IDEA because it gives me the opportunity to develop innovative approaches and methodologies. IDEA has an on-hands and learning-by-doing approach that allows me to help public servants and to change the organizational culture of the agencies I am supporting. In addition, IDEA supervisor coaching and continuous education has enhanced my capability to develop case studies in each project in which I have been involved. But IDEA is not only about excellent professionals and a good working network; it is also about good people. People that love what they do, people that try to do it better every day, and that care for each other in the team. That is not easy to find.
