External review of data quality of MCA Mali

Context

On November 13, 2006, the United States of America, acting through the Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC), and the Government of the Republic of Mali signed a Compact aimed at sustained poverty reduction and economic growth. The Mali Compact consists of the Airport Improvement project and the Alatona Irrigation project. Each project includes multiple activities that are managed and implemented according to project level work plans. During the implementation of the Compact, the Monitoring and Evaluation (M & E) is essential to measure progress at each stage of implementation of activities and identify the necessary adjustments to maximize the chances of achieving the program objectives. For that, the M & E is based on data that should be reliable and regularly updated, which requires a strict control of the data quality.In this context, two sources of data are used: survey data and administrative data. MCA-Mali wanted to ensure their statistical qualities
