Using evidence for learning to improve people’s life: A community-led monitoring approach.

▲ 

Approaches like Community-led monitoring (CLM) allow communities to design, implement and carry out routine, ongoing monitoring service provision, accessibility, and utilization. Guided by this approach, CLM Consultants Ltd, a Tanzanian development management firm advocates for designing and strengthening monitoring, evaluation, and learning interventions through CLM.

CLM Consultants’ experts have vested capabilities in a range of monitoring, evaluation, and learning to design and use mixed-methods (i.e. both quantitative and qualitative), including the ability to integrate Monitoring and Result Measurement (MRM) standards of the Donor Committee for Enterprise Development into innovative community-led monitoring data collection approach.  

At CLM Consultants, the data management approach is driven by the passion to improve people’s life by ensuring quality services succeed by providing state-of-the-art M&E systems to capture best practices using Community-led monitoring data. Through our services, both service providers and service recipients can work together to fine-tune and strengthen their intervention strategies, by articulating problematic issues as they emerge in the process of service delivery, access, and utilization.
