Our Impacts and Successes
Results-based Monitoring and Evaluation
Why we carryout rigorous monitoring & evaluations to measure our impacts?
“We are keen on results-based monitoring and evaluation to measure our impacts because everything that we do, we seek to promote prosperity, reduce poverty, and enhance stability. We exist to generate positive impacts in the lives of local communities struck in extreme poverty in Liberia and the Mano River Basin region. It is therefore curtail that we measure the impacts that we have achieved in each of our projects and programs. This allows us to prioritize the highest impact programs and projects, and phase out low-impact programs and projects, thereby constantly enabling us to improve the impacts of our services.”

Program Quality & Learning
VOSIEDA uses results-based monitoring and evaluation or (RbM&E). But what does VOSIEDA referred to as RbM&E?
Results-based monitoring and evaluation (RbM&E) is a systematic approach used by VOSIEDA’s Program Quality and Learning Department to track results and performance, based on a transparent and reflective logical and result-framework approach. We also use RbM&E to measure our impacts through evaluations. Monitoring is an established practice of internal oversight within our organization use to continuously provide our Board of Directors and management early indications of progress, or lack thereof, in the achievement of results in both operational and financial activities. Our RbM&E serves the dual purpose of increasing effectiveness, organizational learning, and informed decision making, as well as ensuring accountability and transparency to all our stakeholders. In this manner, our supporters, partners, donors, and most importantly, our beneficiaries, can expect the most effective approaches in responding to the identified needs. Below are the progress we’ve made over the last five years.

Empowering the poor through innovation and technology
We undertake research to generate and share evidence-based information about development policies and resources management and their impacts. We focus on the ultra-poor, smallholders, indigenous peoples, local communities and small and medium-sized entrepreneurs. We seek innovation and technology to fight poverty.
