Evidence methodology
AIP-Rural is a data-driven programme. It uses the results measurement standard of the DCED as the foundation for its MRM system. It is supported by a Management Information System (MIS) which automates consolidation and presentation of intervention data for reporting, benchmarking and analysis.
AIP-Rural’s portfolio review process uses a practical range of quantitative and qualitative indicators to rank intervention quality and performance. The indicators are: outreach; benefit; rationale; value for money; quality of deal; quality of collaboration; systemic change potential; poverty; gender and environment.
AIP-Rural's results measurement system passed an audit against the DCED standard in 2016.
