MEASURE BIH (about)

http://measurebih.com/about-measure-bih
Monitoring and Evaluation Support Activity (MEASURE-BiH) Total Funding: $8.9 million Duration: September 2014 – September 2019 Implementing Partner: IMPAQ International, LLC The Challenge USAID is committed to key principles and practices that foster a results-oriented culture within the Agency, and makes every effort to ensure strong oversight of its assistance to Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH). Rigorous monitoring and evaluation (M&E) is a major focus of USAID reforms to improve transparency, accountability and learning as a part of the Agency’s USAID/Forward effort. Instilling these values into USAID interventions in BiH requires a dedicated team of M&E experts. Local researchers and organizations, however, lack the capacity to fill this role. They, too, need to learn and integrate such values and functions to conduct independent analysis of economic and political challenges and policies in BiH. Our Program The USAID Monitoring and Evaluation Support Activity in BiH (MEASURE-BiH) has two primary objectives. Building USAID capacity to evaluate the impact of development interventions in BiH is the proximal purpose of this activity. MEASURE-BiH will strengthen USAID/BiH’s results-oriented culture, using M&E to inform current program management and the longer-term strategic direction of our programs in BiH. Development projects in BiH, however, will not go on indefinitely. The skills to evaluate development interventions lend themselves to be transferred into skills to evaluate the impact of public policy, proposed legislation, and organic solutions to the challenges facing the country. Therefore, MEASURE-BiH will also develop capacity to conduct independent, high-quality evaluations and other studies for local organizations, government institutions, USAID and other donors in BiH. The local capacity to conduct objective analysis will be strengthened in order to achieve a culture of results-based and data-driven public policy decision making. Implementation and Expected Results Through the following activities, MEASURE-BiH will address inefficiencies in resource management to enable USAID/BiH to make decisions based on cutting-edge evidence, and will also develop local M&E capacity: Strengthen USAID performance management and project/activity M&E by improving its ability to identify, collect and analyze performance data and information; Conduct evaluations, surveys, studies and sector assessments of our activities to help USAID deliver results on a meaningful scale; Develop a Geographic Information System to map where we work and what we do there; Provide M&E training and technical assistance for USAID/BiH staff and implementing partners; Develop a comprehensive Research Fellows Program in social science and program evaluation for independent local researchers, including both targeted training courses and learn-by-doing capacity building; and Provide demand-driven M&E capacity building of BiH government/public institutions.

    Dear members,

    First of all, I wish you a happy new year and all the best for the future. I would like to inform you briefly about ACIPS activities in the period since I took over the position of the President of ACIPS in May 2013.
    During, this period ACIPS has implemented two projects with regard to the population census in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The first project was a political, economic and social analysis of questionnaires for the population census. The British Embassy financed this project which ended in June 2013.
    The second project on the population census was implemented in the period from July until the end of October. The National Endowment financed this project for Democracy. As part of this project a handbook was created that explains the purposes that the data from the census can be used.
    ACIPS also organized in August a presentation of the USAID Civil Society Sustainability Index 2012 for Bosnia and Herzegovina and in October a panel discussion for USAID CSO Sustainability Index for 2013.
    ACIPS has also organized and co-organized three public discussions on constitutional changes in Bosnia and Herzegovina in October, November and December 2013.
    There is a plan to organize a public discussion on the protection of personal data, since data from one of our members were violated, but to also organize public discussions on other relevant issues. I would like to encourage you to propose topics that you would like to discuss in public.
    With regard to the magazine New Perspectives the Steering Board has decided to change the format of the magazine to electronic format, which is indexed. We are currently working on fundraising for this project and we will create a new website for this purpose.
    The Steering Board of ACIPS and I would like to encourage you to approach us if you have any ideas for a project. From our side, we will forward you calls for proposals for different projects to include your ideas, but also to create the opportunity for you to work with ACIPS.

    If you have any further questions, do not hesitate to contact me.

    Sincerely,

    Anes Makul
    President / Predsjednik
