How does OTI know when it is having an impact?
OTI uses several tools to track its impact, including quarterly analytical field reports and a customized grants database. OTI also measures the speed and flexibility of its programs, the resources it can leverage from other sources, and its influence on U.S. or host-country policy. All OTI country programs review their programs on a regular basis, and participate in internal reviews with OTI senior management. Within the first three months of starting a new program, and periodically throughout the duration of the program, the country teams conduct regular strategy review sessions. OTI also conducts final evaluations at the end of each country program.
