i-APS is a recognized leader in Third Party Monitoring (TPM). Our experienced teams leverage global best practices and innovative KAPtech technologies to collect independent, verifiable data, providing our clients with the insights they need to make informed decisions. Our TPM systems, tools, and reporting enable us to collect and analyze crucial primary data, including the location and status of activities and the level of beneficiary engagement. This allows donors to independently verify information reported by their Implementing Partners (IPs), effectively oversee and manage IP activities, leverage programmatic learning, and ultimately improve the efficiency and effectiveness of their programs by informing future activity design. We go beyond simply collecting data; we analyze trends, identify potential risks, and provide actionable recommendations to help our clients improve program performance and ensure accountability.
i-APS's proprietary TPMready platform provides a comprehensive solution for all your Third Party Monitoring (TPM) needs. From initial planning and workforce management to real-time site visit tracking and reporting, our platform streamlines every aspect of the TPM process. Integrated with advanced data analytics (including Machine Learning and AI), our system combines primary and secondary data to generate insightful dashboards that provide complete project oversight. KAPcourse integration facilitates seamless training for field monitors, while features like security assessments, monthly reporting, and contract deliverable management further enhance efficiency and accountability.
i-APS's special studies provide strategic insights to inform policy and program development. Our TPM and MEL teams employ highly contextualized approaches to understand local operating conditions and shape programming across the entire program cycle. We conduct a range of assessments, including landscape analyses, beneficiary analyses, digital landscape analyses, and research into specific technical areas or crosscutting factors (e.g., armed conflict; situational analyses). These studies provide the evidence base needed to design effective programs and policies that address real-world challenges.
i-APS designs and conducts data quality assessments (DQAs) for donors and Implementing Partners (IPs) as part of our TPM and MEL work. Our DQAs provide actionable recommendations for improving monitoring and evaluation systems and are delivered in various formats, including reports, infographics, learning sessions, and presentations.
