CGD Highlights Dioptra Tool As Opportunity for USAID to Lead on Evidence-Based Aid

In a report released on December 3, 2020, the Center for Global Development highlighted that “in assessing whether federally funded international aid programs are achieving results and delivering value for money, the US government faces gaps in its understanding.” The report goes on to recommend “expanding its support for and leadership in multi-stakeholder efforts to establish a common costing methodology to enable more consistent and available cost evidence,” with a link to the Systematic Cost Analysis Consortium and our Dioptra tool.
