Description

The Ray Marshall Center (RMC), with support from Nuru International (NI), will assist NI Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) with the methodology, tools, and data analysis of its integrated programming model in Ethiopia and Kenya.  RMC will provide technical guidance on measurement and data collection for the Multidimensional Poverty Index along with quantitative data analysis of NI’s Multidimensional Poverty Survey (MPI).  The key questions being asked this first year are:

  • Trends Analysis:  To what extent is NI having an effect on Multidimensional Poverty through an analysis of trends?
  • Methodological Rigor:  How can NI M&E improve its methodology and/or tools in order to better capture the impact of the integrated model on poverty?
