Overview
Interaction has the capacity to undertake all stages of M&E and third party monitoring: from designing the tools to data collection, data analysis and reporting including dissemination of results.

Results-Based Management
Interaction assists agencies in utilising the results-based management approach. Results-based monitoring and evaluation is a systematic approach to track results at outputs and outcomes level and to assess impacts. Outputs are often monitored by project staff and serves as organisational learning to inform decision, but can also be done by a third-party. Monitoring efforts, ultimately feed into evaluation (either midterm or end of project) to assess outcomes and impacts.
