Monitoring (MODE)
The MELI Unit focuses on bringing together multiple sources of data to measure the full impact of our programming. Through implementing partners and internal data collection efforts, ECA collects data at multiple stages during a program’s lifecycle. Monitoring data:
- Provides information used to assess program performance.
- Supplements the information that ECA program officers receive from their implementing partners and exchange participants to provide a comprehensive view of programmatic activities; and
- Allows the Bureau to respond more quickly and reliably to ad-hoc requests from Congress, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), and internal DOS stakeholders.
MELI collects monitoring data through two mechanisms:
- Monitoring Data for ECA (MODE) Framework
- Participant Welfare Monitoring (page forthcoming)
