MSI Technical Focus




Strategic Planning, Monitoring & Evaluation

MSI's work with performance-based management systems includes two decades of experience designing planning processes, information systems, and studies that are not only useful, but used. By helping stakeholders and decision makers at all levels define the issues and questions they face and anticipate how they will use information once they have it, we assist clients to sharpen their focus, increase their use of performance information and minimize the collection of unnecessary data.

An area of specific expertise at MSI is the design and implementation of monitoring and evaluation systems that allow senior decision makers to track their organizations' overall performance and to report on that performance to policy makers inside and outside their organizations. We have been a leader in helping U.S. federal agencies implement the 1993 Government Performance and Results Act, and have assisted more than 20 federal agencies to develop public consultation processes, agency-wide plans, performance measures, monitoring systems and reporting procedures. MSI currently holds the USAID Integrated Management for Results 2 contract, under which the firm provides agency-wide assistance in Managing for Results.

Our staff have contributed to the development of many widely used program planning and evaluation tools including the Logical Framework, now used by more than 400 major organizations around the world. In addition to these tools, MSI is well known for its leadership and signature approach to monitoring and evaluation in the following areas:

  • Development of program objectives and performance indicators;
  • Conduct of program-level and cross-cutting evaluations;
  • Participatory approaches to planning and evaluation;
  • Evaluation of interventions in the areas of policy reform, enterprise promotion, technology transfer, democratic process, national resource management, organizational change and human resource development; and
  • Assessing the impact of programs on women and other designated target groups.
