Relevant Experience in third-party monitoring
Since 2009, TCS has collaborated with a diverse array of partners to implement both large- and small-scale socioeconomic data collection, Third-Party Monitoring and management projects. Our extensive experience and expertise have enabled us to successfully train over 630 enumerators in essential skills, including quantitative household interviews, field data analysis, ethics, and quality assurance.
Currently, TCS is implementing three Third Party Monitoring projects involving regular data collection, enumerator training and management, data analysis, reporting and stakeholder engagements for consultation and validation of data. Through these projects TCS has it foots on the ground to mobilize local resources and engage communities particularly communities in Jubbaland, Southwest State, Galmudug and Puntland regions where TCS is implementing “the Third-Party Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning (TPM) for Building Reconciliation and Peace through Inclusive Dialogue, Gender Equality, Sport and Protection of Cultural Heritage project for the European Committee for Training and Agriculture (CEFA) in Puntland and Galmudug States. A section detailing our ongoing and recent projects, is presented in below for reference.
Our consultant database is robust and versatile, allowing us to manage projects of any scale efficiently. We can mobilize our trained enumerators within 72 hours to undertake large-scale data collection exercises using tablets, ODK, Kobo, or traditional printed forms for close questionnaires. This flexibility ensures that we can meet the unique needs of each client and effectively address specific access constraints.
