Performance Improvement of Local Systems
ME&A uses data-driven performance measurement and capacity building to amplify local voices and strengthen local systems. Our proprietary Performance Improvement of Local Systems (PILS) approach is designed to help local organizations—including government bodies, businesses, civil society groups, and educational institutions—improve how they serve their countries and communities.
Our eight-step PILS approach begins with a thorough analysis of local systems and how organizations operate within them. We then work with local stakeholders to develop solutions that address both system-wide and individual organizational performance challenges. The next steps focus on identifying the root causes of performance gaps and closing them using cost-effective methods to strengthen system and organizational effectiveness. Throughout the process, we incorporate adaptive management; continuous improvement methodologies; and robust Monitoring, Evaluation, and Learning (MEL) systems to ensure effectiveness.
