The IDEA team introduced the conception, methodology and process of investment project design and appraisal based on the IDEA P4R® software application at the global level of the Ministry of Finance, as well as at sector and municipal levels in the context of the Public Investment Management (PIM) System reform. It was an applied experience, which helped clarify investment project appraisal and simplify their application in a workow tailor-made IT software. Seventy-ve civil servants involved in the PIM System were trained to help appropriate the methodology and the IT software. The IDEA technical team has proven it could deliver complex IT projects with high quality results.

IDEA was contracted to provide services aimed at improving our performance measurement and monitoring, evaluation and reporting systems. In undertaking this assignment, they have applied their M4R® computer application which enabled our organization to reach another level of organizational development. It enabled a much better articulation of the performance measurement frameworks of our Regional CDM Strategy, institutional corporate plan, programs and projects. The system, complete with dashboards, early warning system and automatic generation of reports makes my work and that of my directors much easier. Working with the IDEA experts I have been really impressed with their combination of rigorous analytical framework, their applied approach, and frank, but respectful dialogue in the best interest of CDEMA. In that regard I am more than happy to stand in reference for the quality and efficient service they offer.

M. Ronald H. Jackson Executive Director, CDEMA (Barbados)

The IDEA team used a structured process called A4R® to collect and analyse the existing system of M&E in various central government agencies and line ministries in Romania. This provided for a baseline of the situation of their respective M&E systems, and benchmarking across ministries as well as the preparation of a relevant action plan for the improvement of those systems over the next three years. I found the approach practical, participatory, and action oriented, which is what a country like Romania needs.
