Youth Empowerment Project — M&E
International Trade Centre (ITC)
Overview
The Youth Empowerment Project (YEP) supported youth economic empowerment through skills training, entrepreneurship support, and MSME development. 2M Corp provided M&E data support to the programme team, including form development, data compilation from multiple programme components, and beneficiary follow-up and MSME surveys; the programme and its results framework were owned by ITC and the YEP team.
Data quality assurance addressed challenges from fragmented data management practices, including cleaning, validating, standardising entries for beneficiaries appearing across multiple records, and resolving inconsistencies. COVID-19 disruptions required adapted data collection schedules.
Monitoring dashboards were developed to provide programme managers with real-time visibility into key performance indicators, enabling data-driven decision making.
Impact
The M&E work established reliable foundations for programme decision-making and addressed root causes of information fragmentation that had hampered the programme's ability to demonstrate and improve its impact.
