MIRA has well established Monitoring, Evaluation and Research Unit responsible to manage monitoring and evaluation system and conduct researches. The research activities such as Need assessments, Situation analysis and Baseline survey for the projects and post project Evaluation of the project are conducted. The research studies are also conducted for partner and other NGOs at national level as well.
Moreover, we are strongly committed to strengthening our ability to capture and communicate our effectiveness, in order to learn what does and does not work in our efforts to overcome poverty and suffering and strengthen our accountability to a wide range of stakeholders.
Our approach to monitoring evaluation, accountability learning & Research enables us to:
- Assess the impact of our programmes;
- Learn from our experiences; and
- Increase our accountability to different stakeholders.
It is built on a number of key principles:
- Use different processes for different needs
- Integrate M&E into everyday work
- Link learning with decision-making
- Secure adequate resources
- Involve key stakeholders
MIRA relies on a suite of processes:
- Getting the basics right: systematic monitoring against programme indicators
- Building organizational knowledge and accountability
- Feeding learning into decision-making
The processes are designed to take account of the views of our stakeholders through information collection processes and by including them in reflection and learning events. Information obtained through monitoring and evaluation activities enables us to give an informed and objective account of our decisions and actions.
