Regular and timely monitoring is key to the success of any project. With our strong field network and presence in different countries of the region, we help organizations, partners and donors better understand the impact of their funding and programming on affected beneficiaries and communities. The monitoring services we provide are timely, context-sensitive and of high quality, and build on our strong field presence and networks.
We ensure all our field monitors and researchers are well-trained and professional, capable of collecting high-quality data that informs the programming of our partners. Participatory monitoring services form a major part of the services we provide, and we ensure strong internal systems in both design and implementation.
All the consultants, project managers and field coordinators who manage and supervise the monitoring services have international expertise in the region in different sectors and fields, and with different partners, including UN agencies and international donors. Using both local and international expertise, we aim to help our partners and clients understand how their programmes affect communities and beneficiaries, and how they can be improved, in order to ensure better effectiveness, efficiency, impact, accountability and sustainability.
Evaluation is vital to understand the successes and improvement areas of any project. We provide project and programme evaluations for our partners and clients, including formative, summative, process/implementation, and impact evaluations. We have a strong and broad network of consultants, local and international, who can provide technical and managerial expertise to conduct different evaluation studies in MENA, Africa and Eastern Europe: Iraq, Yemen, Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Sudan, Somalia, Tunisia, Morocco, Egypt, Ukraine, and Turkey.
Our reports are informative, to-the-point and context-sensitive, providing actionable and practical recommendations to foster learning and development. Our well-established teams ensure better access and timely implementation to meet deadlines and milestones.
In addition to monitoring and evaluation, we provide research services, built on our strong field presence and networks. We use experts and consultants with specialist knowledge in different sectors such as education, protection and GBV, livelihood, emergency, governance, market, voucher and cash responses, civil and human rights, recovery and infrastructure. Our strong presence and connections in the region ensure access, quality, expertise and integrity.
IECSE offers capacity building and development services based on the needs of our clients. Our implementation approach follows a well-developed methodology that builds on Organizational Capacity Assessment (OCA), which yields critical results about areas of improvement.
IECSE's approach to capacity building covers on-the-job training, mentoring, coaching, remote management and online training. Training includes effective leadership, management, fundraising & income diversification, marketing, public relations & communications, human resources, ethical practices and project management.
With our strong field presence and network of experienced and trained field researchers, we aim to provide large-scale data collection services across the region using the remote management skills of our field coordinators. We have developed strong internal systems to ensure the high quality and validity of the data collected. These include:
IECSE provides financial consulting services based on strong financial analysis, using our expert and qualified teams. Our services cover:
We are able to deploy our field teams and researchers within 24 hours in order to conduct rapid needs assessments for partners working in emergency settings who require data to inform their response and intervention in specific emergency spikes.
In addition, we can provide large-scale needs assessments such as food security, WASH, protection, etc., to help our partners build programmes and proposals based on strong data and evidence.
In insecure contexts where access is a challenge, as in Syria, Somalia, Libya, South Sudan and Yemen, third-party facilitation becomes an urgent need. IECSE provides such services including, but not limited to, recruitment and management of field teams, logistics services, HR services and other similar services.
Through our strong field access in conflict areas, IECSE has context-sensitive, strong, and agile systems in place to provide such services given our local expertise and our ability to mobilize teams and provide all HR-related management services for our partners.
One TPM service we provide is the conduct of independent and objective warehouse inventory assessment services. IECSE deploys experienced logistics and warehouse-management field monitors who can conduct inventory-related services using context-sensitive and subject-matter tailored tools to provide objective and independent assessment of inventories, warehouse practices and technical review of systems in place.
