In our selection of partners, MAA employs a meticulous Partner Rate Card system, evaluating potential and existing Field Partners against defined Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) to ensure optimal project outcomes. This transparent system underscores our dedication to accountability and effectiveness in our humanitarian and development endeavors.

Partner Assessments and Capacity Building

  • Initial Assessment and Onboarding: The cornerstone of our partnership strategy is a rigorous first evaluation process. MAA International comprehensively evaluates potential partners during onboarding, focusing on their financial health, project delivery track record, human resources capabilities, and relevant skills.

Ongoing Monitoring and Evaluation

  • Continuous Partnership Evaluation: Our commitment to our partners and project beneficiaries does not end with the onboarding process. We actively monitors and evaluates our partners' performance throughout each project's lifecycle. This includes conducting financial assessments, reviewing delivery reports, and ensuring compliance with agreed-upon standards and practices.

  • In-Field Audits: MAA conducts regular in-field audits to ensure further transparency and accountability. These audits allow us to assess our projects' on-the-ground impact, resource utilisation efficiency, and adherence to our ethical and operational guidelines.

  • Post-Project Review: Upon the completion of projects, MAA undertakes a thorough review process with our partners. This post-project evaluation focuses on assessing the outcomes against initial goals, identifying lessons learned, and planning for future improvements.
