TOTAL 20•By aligning IP PMPs with the Mission’s Intermediate Results, we helped them think through their development hypothesis and the critical assumptions they have made

• By aligning the PMPs with standardized templates (PMP Summary table, Performace Data Table (PDT), Performance Indicator Reference Sheets (PIRS), we helped improve their reporting

• Some IPs actually were underreporting their results due to lack of clarity on definitions and expectations of USAID • We helped them clarify indicator definitions and data collection methods• With technical team oversight, we also helped them standardize tooIs and definitions among Implementing Partners

SOWs Reviewed and Evaluations and Assessments Conducted:

Title Key FIndings Key Recommendations

Mid-Term Evaluation – TSHIP Project

•Achieved many success on which to build•Quality of care & coverage have not been significantly improved

• To be a change model & demonstrate action•Focus on governance & partnership with GON & IPs in states where they work

Focus States Strategy Assessment

•Implementation is better in cluster areas where there is field collaboration•Security is affecting project implementation

•Develop communications strategy to address cross cutting issues (e.g., gender & conflict)•Clearly define FSS goals and roles of partners in the achievement of objectives

Mid-term Performance Evaluation - NEI project

•Project activities benefiting OVCs have produced relevant and effective results•NFLCs offer a promising alternative to formal schools

• School Report Cards, based on readily available data, should be promulgated as originally planned•NEI needs to develop an institutional sustainability plan

Deliverable FY 2014 Planning

Develop an inventory of indicators, composite indicators and indices used by Development partners in Nigeria

Produce a report with inventory on composite and indices and make recommendations for collection and dissemination

Collect and make available on request updated data on these indicators

Collect and make available to development partners selected data on request

Widely disseminate data on composite indicators and indices used by development partners in Nigeria

Provide data on MEMS II database with links to partners' databases where available.

Collect and make available on request, PEPFAR health systems strengthening and capacity building indicators that are supplemental to OGAC indicators

Deliver data subset based on readily available data and follow up with SI Group on any other indicators they propose to collect

Indicators Inventory, Collection and Dissemination:

Deliverable:

Review SOWs for and conduct 4 evaluations and/or assessments

◦ dRPC Performance Evaluation

◦ 3 others
