Africa Enterprise Challenge Fund-Monitoring and Results Measurement

Multi-Donor

The AECF uses the Challenge Fund model to stimulate private sector entrepreneurs to innovate and find profitable ways of improving access to markets and the ways markets function for the poor, particularly in rural areas.

We worked in partnership with the Fund Manager, KPMG, to establish monitoring and evaluation frameworks to measure and validate results including quantitative and qualitative analysis of the impacts on men, women, girls and boys in rural poor households. We conducted a comprehensive gender review of the AECF and provided guidance for gender mainstreaming.
