Yemen Independent Monitoring Programme

Overview: Data collection for monitoring of DFID Yemen projects using smartphones. Establish and maintain a database of the information collected from the independent monitoring project.

To provide independent monitoring of DFID development programme in Yemen by an external organisation who will undertake field visits, verify project activity and collect views from beneficiaries. This will strengthen DFID’s work in Yemen through improving all our other projects. Approximately 100 communities benefitting from DFID aid projects will be visited each year for three years.

From annual report: Since the approval of the business case for the DFID Yemen Independent Monitoring programme (IMP), a consortium led by the British Council was selected through a competitive bidding process to implement the project... We have agreed with the British Council to brand the IMP under the name ‘Ta’zeez’ (‘strengthening’ in Arabic) to give the project a Yemeni identity.
