ME&A also provides regular periodic reviews of specific activities, as requested by USAID/El Salvador, and as requested by other USAID Missions in the USAID/Central America and Mexico (CAM) regional program.
In addition, ME&L El Salvador can be used to contract individual or longitudinal studies, assessments, surveys, or other related services relevant to bilateral and regional programs.
Funding
USAID/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 USAID Missions and Offices worldwide.
