Approach in Action

Third-Party Monitoring and Results Verification

Independent, credible evidence of what was built, delivered and achieved: site checks, beneficiary feedback and verification of results.

The problem we solve

Where access is hard or results trigger payments, governments and financiers need independent evidence: were the works built, did the services reach people, are the reported numbers right? Weak verification delays disbursement and hides problems until they are expensive.

Our method, phase by phase

Phase 1 of 5

Design

  • Agree what is verified, how often and to what standard
  • Sampling frame and protocols
  • Data protection and ethics

Deliverable: Verification protocol and sampling plan

Tick what your organisation already has: we show you where to start.

Questions teams ask

What does Risalat's Third-Party Monitoring and Results Verification approach involve?

Independent, credible evidence of what was built, delivered and achieved: site checks, beneficiary feedback and verification of results. It runs in 5 phases: Design, Tools and teams, Field verification, Analysis and reporting, Follow-up. Each phase ends with an agreed deliverable.

What problem does it solve?

Where access is hard or results trigger payments, governments and financiers need independent evidence: were the works built, did the services reach people, are the reported numbers right? Weak verification delays disbursement and hides problems until they are expensive.

What does the client receive?

A verification protocol agreed with the financier; Geo-referenced evidence for every sampled site; Clear reports on reported versus verified results; Issues flagged early with follow-up.

Can we try the method before engaging Risalat?

Yes. The instruments on this page are free and online: Results-Based Financing Readiness Blueprint, M&E and MEAL Assessment, Indicator Reference Sheet Builder, Donor Progress Report Builder. Your answers stay in your browser until you ask for a result. Evaluation committees can also ask for a live walkthrough.

How do we know where to start?

Tick what your organisation already has in the method above: the page shows the first phase that needs work and what the assignment would cover. The diagnostic gives a scored baseline in about ten minutes.

Can it be delivered as training, advisory support or both?

Both. The same method can be delivered as an advisory assignment, as an in-house or open training programme for the team, or as a combination with coaching while the team applies it to its own work.
