Service Spotlight
Third-Party Monitoring (TPM) Projects

Jouri has conducted TPM on GOAL’s Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) programme serving conflict-affected populations in Syria. The purpose of the monitoring was to assess the Relevance and Appropriateness of water services, the Accessibility and the Delivery, as well as the Responsiveness and the Coordination of the program. In order to monitor the activities, Jouri used a mix-approach to data collection with both quantitative and qualitative methods. The report highlighted the key achievements made by GOAL and provided practical recommendations. An online presentation was held to present the findings.

Jouri was mandated to undertake a TPM of World Vision’s activities in health and protection to respond to basic needs of vulnerable populations in Syria. Jouri conducted two rounds of outcome monitoring to ensure measurement of Strategic Objective Indicators related to the improved access to quality health and protection services of the targeted communities. The TPM assessed, among other criteria, the beneficiary satisfaction, the effectiveness of the project’s response to COVID-19 risks and conducted on-site checklists to assess the availability of essential drugs and equipment in the health facilities. The final report presented the consolidated findings of the two rounds and recommendations for future programs.

Recent Evaluation Projects

End of Project Evaluation: Jouri was commissioned by Expertise France to undertake a final evaluation of the livelihood component of the INOS programme in Syria, whose activities included implementing a dairy value-chain by supporting livestock breeders and establishing two dairy production centers, as well as supporting potato farmers and establishing an apprenticeship programme with young workers and small businesses. The assignment evaluated the relevance, the beneficiaries’ satisfaction, the efficiency, the effectiveness, the impact and the sustainability of the project. The data collection methods included surveys and human stories with beneficiaries as well as key informant interviews with stakeholders. The purpose of this evaluation was to assess the progress made towards the achievements of the overall objectives and respective outputs of the project and provide recommendations and lessons learned for future projects.
