USAID’s programs under the U.S. Strategy for Central America are driven by evidence of what works. In addition to contributing to the Strategy’s interagency Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) Plan, USAID missions use various M&E and learning tools to collect and analyze data on program progress and outcomes. USAID also works with academic institutions and research organizations to better understand the contexts in which we are working and to maximize impact.
