Evaluating a project is essential to improve its impact, orient resources, and support the continuity of international cooperation initiatives or local development strategies. In the complex contexts where we work, this requires solid methodological tools, in-depth contextual knowledge, and an independent approach.

- Impact and sustainability analysis: multidimensional assessment of economic, social and environmental effects.
- Case studies and operational recommendations Practical, decision-oriented feedback for public authorities, local institutions and communities.

OUR METHODOLOGY
We apply an integrated approach, adaptable to different contexts and sectors, based on:
Theory of Change
OECD/DAC criteria:
Sustainability indicators
Collaborative tools
Tailored socio-economic indicators
Microfinanza has developed its own set of socio-economic and environmental indicators to assess the inclusiveness and performance of financial institutions and development programmes. This toolkit allows to:
- Monitor social, environmental and financial performance over time
- Assess accessibility and effectiveness of services for end clients
- Integrate ESG sustainability practices into management and reporting
This approach does not only guide evaluation, but also training, capacity building and technical assistance, promoting a culture of evidence and continuous improvement.

Each evaluation is designed and conducted in close collaboration with clients and local partners, to ensure relevance, ownership and operational usefulness — and to steer future interventions where needed.
