Monitoring & Evaluation (M&E)

Driving Evidence-Based Governance and Accountable Public Spending

DSA Global provides end-to-end Monitoring & Evaluation (M&E) services to Central and State Governments, Urban Local Bodies, PSUs, and development agencies. Our M&E solutions enable governments to measure performance, assess outcomes, demonstrate impact, and improve programme design through evidence-based insights.

Our approach goes beyond compliance reporting to support learning, course correction, and policy reform—enabling governments to shift from input-based reporting to results-based governance.
