The ME&L El Salvador Chief of Party is Randal Joy Thompson, Ph.D.

Activities

MELI is made up of six components: Performance Monitoring; Performance and Impact Evaluations; GIS; Research, Assessments, and Data Analysis; Knowledge Management and Learning; and Training.

The project’s primary goal is to enhance the Mission’s monitoring, evaluation, and learning capability and to ensure empirical evidence for programming, learning, and adapting. ME&A also provides regular periodic reviews of specific activities, as requested by US Government mission in El Salvador, and as requested by other US Government missions in the US Government mission in Central America and Mexico (CAM) regional program.

In addition, MELI can be used to contract individual or longitudinal studies, assessments, surveys, or other related services relevant to bilateral and regional programs.

Funding

US Government mission in El Salvador awarded this $19 million task order to ME&A in 2016 under the Policy, Planning and Learning-Learning, Evaluation and Research (PPL-LER) IDIQ Contract to provide evaluation, monitoring and assessment services for US Government missions and offices worldwide.
