Project Objective
In August 2022, The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) awarded International Business Initiatives Corporation (IBI) the Evaluation 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. IBI partnered with SI to implement the USAID Haiti Evaluation and Survey Services Plus (ESS+) Activity.
USAID/Haiti has engaged Haiti ESS+ to conduct a baseline study in Haiti for the Improve Health Service Delivery (IHSD)-Integrated Health Resilience Activity. This baseline will assess current status of key indicators and determine baseline values of the two USG funded health service delivery awards against their objectives and serve as a point of comparison with indicators that will be collected in the future endline evaluation. This study design allows for the measurement of change in indicators between the baseline and subsequent data collection rounds.
