In August 2022, The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) awarded International Business Initiatives Corp. (IBI) the Evaluation and Survey Services Plus (ESS+) contract to support USAID/Haiti and its partners with evaluations, survey and study support, capacity building and learning events, and in-country third-party monitoring (TPM).

TPM will help USAID to better understand project results and the complex Haitian development context (including institutional norms and behaviors) through data collection and analysis. Unlike most USAID activities, ESS+ is demand-driven and depends on the Mission to identify its monitoring, evaluation, and learning (MEL) needs. To date, USAID/Haiti has requested that ESS+ support verification of health service delivery quantity and quality outputs for the Integrated Health Service Delivery (IHSD) Activity implemented by two New Partnerships Initiative (NPI) partners: Interchurch Medical Assistance World Health (IMA) and Health Equity International (HEI). ESS+ will contribute verification data to the process that provides financial incentive payments to the Results-Based Financing (RBF) sites (Communal Reference Hospitals, Health Centers with and without beds, and Dispensaries) under MSPP’s RBF strategy.

‘’The RBF is a healthcare financing method based on the purchase of performance outputs and materialized by a contractual relationship between the various players’’. RBF Manual 2016

The ESS+ Health Third Party Monitoring Manager will serve as an expert in output verification, data validation, and field activity monitoring to support health-related TPM activities. The ESS+ Health TPM Manager will conduct TPM for beneficiary health facilities and to measure satisfaction in their related deserving communities. The Health TPM Manager will ensure data collection and report on the health-related Results-Based Financing (RBF) activities. ESS+ expects to submit reports every three months on services quality assessment, quantitative verification on the sites and clients’ satisfaction.
