Third Party Monitoring & Evaluation

Third Party Monitoring & Evaluation

ICRHK is a trusted independent evaluator that ensures programs deliver results and resources reach those who need them most. TPM functions as an impartial mechanism that validates project performance, identifies implementation risks, and generates real-time learning, while programmatic evaluation assesses how well programs are working and whether they are achieving their desired results.

Through our various evaluations and TPM projects, our work has verified outcomes for thousands of beneficiaries, strengthened local health systems, and informed decision-making at the national and county levels. By turning data into actionable insights, we help partners refine implementation, optimize investments, and maximize impact.

Donors and investors rely on our evaluations to confidently track progress and make evidence-based funding decisions. Through our approaches, we ensure independent, rigorous verification of reported results, adopting actionable reporting that highlights lessons, best practices, and recommendations for improvement, along with a participatory learning approach involving stakeholders and communities for grounded insights. The evidence generated from our work informs policy, program design, and scaling of effective interventions.

Technical Approach

Mixed-method monitoring

Combines quantitative tools, household surveys, facility audits, service use reviews, and partner scorecards, with qualitative methods such as KIIs, FGDs, perception surveys, and beneficiary feedback to assess progress, user experience, and barriers to service uptake.

Community-led monitoring

Uses community feedback committees, scorecards, participatory assessments, and confidential reporting channels to ensure communities directly inform the TPM process and highlight issues not captured in routine reports.

Data quality assurance:

Uses digital tools; real-time dashboards, GPS-tagged photos, timestamp validation, and automated checks to strengthen accuracy, transparency, and verification checks. These technologies enhance accuracy, ensure transparency, and facilitate rapid decision-making.

Our Evaluation Scope

Baseline evaluations

We assess initial conditions for the program before its implementation.

Process/implementation evaluations

We examine whether program activities are delivered as planned and assess quality and efficiency

Midline evaluations

We assess progress and identify implementation gaps or risks during program implementation for Adaptation

Outcome evaluations

We examine whether program activities are delivered as planned and assess quality and efficiency

Impact evaluations

We determine long-term effects that can be attributed to programs

Endline evaluations

We measure the effectiveness of programs by comparing outcomes against initial objectives to determining the effects of interventions

Impact Highlights

Enhanced local monitoring and evaluation capacity, enabling MoH Kenya and its partners to strengthen data quality and use evidence for decision-making.

Verified program results across 16 counties and 446 health facilities, ensuring credible reporting for the DESIP Project.

Supported transparency and accountability, giving donors and investors confidence in program performance and outcomes. Our donors include FCDO, USAID & GIZ

Documented the drivers of low contraceptive uptake in Tanzania and generated evidence and impact stories that have directly informed policy, program design, and scale-up strategies.
