We provide independent, trusted TPM for donors, governments, and private foundations. This includes verification of delivery, value-for-money checks, beneficiary voice capture, spot checks and remote monitoring, geo-tagging, risk and safeguarding monitoring, and rapid feedback loops that strengthen accountability and decision making.
Third-Party Monitoring
Independent verification your stakeholders trust — fast enough to change the outcome.
When access is hard, when the political economy is fragile, when funder and implementer incentives diverge — that is when independent monitoring earns its cost.
What you get
- Verification of delivery against contracts and approved workplans
- Value-for-money checks across the five Es (economy, efficiency, effectiveness, equity, sustainability)
- Beneficiary voice capture with consent and safeguarding
- Spot checks, remote monitoring, and risk-based sampling
