This report presents the findings from Itad’s external monitoring, learning, and evaluation (MLE) partnership with TCI, wherein Itad’s remit was to:

  • Collaborate on a Theory of Change (ToC) and Results Framework that reflect TCI NextGen and provide robust measures for tracking outcomes and measuring impact
  • Design and carry out a package of independent evaluations to test TCI’s ToC
  • Review and offer recommendations for strengthening TCI’s monitoring processes, tools and data
  • Undertake a learning agenda with products for TCI and other audiences that reflect key aspects of our work as the MLE Partner.

This summative report was co-authored by Karen Hardee (Evaluation Team Leader), David Jodrell (Impact Evaluation Lead), Meghan Bishop (Process Evaluation Lead), Scott Moreland (CEA-CBA Lead), and Gillian Eva (Monitoring Support Lead).
