LAMP provides specialist insight, analysis and technical guidance to funding agencies and development programmes to improve the impact of aid. Operating as a trusted partner and focusing on collaboration and capacity building, we help our clients develop and embed robust and sustainable methodologies and frameworks to improve efficiency and cost-effectiveness of their programmes. We use qualitative and quantitative approaches, routine reporting and reviews, referring to best practice within the sector. Our detailed final reports not only present our findings, but also include practical recommendations for improving the impact of aid.
LAMP also partners with external evaluators and third-party monitors (TPM) to help evaluate the economy, efficiency, effectiveness, equity and sustainability of development programmes. We provide specialised value for money (VFM) inputs – including assessing programme systems for measuring and managing VFM – to help programmes identify how to use and adjust their resources to deliver the greatest benefits for the communities they serve.
Our training, mentoring, and ongoing technical support prioritises practical implementation of VFM, to ensure that teams can apply appropriate tools and methods in order to continuously embed effective and sustainable VFM practices into their daily operations. This enables us to ensure VFM is embedded into day-to-day management of a programme and to identify further opportunities for improving VFM.
