Kaizen empowers USAID programs with cutting-edge learning analytics, driving integration, adaptation, and innovation for transformative development outcomes in Ethiopia and Djibouti.
USAID/Ethiopia’s goal is to transition Ethiopia to a more democratic, prosperous, and resilient society with accountable institutions and private sector-led growth. USAID’s work in Djibouti invests in people through education, health, governance, and democracy programs.
Highlights
- Supports USAID dramatically improving effectiveness of programming
- Provides tailored services to enhance organizational development
- Sets a new standard for collaborating, learning, and adapting (CLA) practices
Through the Learning Analytics Activity, Kaizen helps USAID achieve these objectives by dramatically improving programming effectiveness and enabling greater integration with the local context, faster adaptation, and more innovation. The Learning Analytics Activity supports USAID/Ethiopia and USAID/Djibouti with tailored services to enhance organizational development, build capacity, and improve collaborating, learning, and adapting (CLA) practices, processes, and systems. These approaches drive the Mission’s overall organizational health, evidence-based decision-making, and innovation and allow for enhanced capabilities and fit-to-purpose data analytics. New interventions increase collaboration between traditional monitoring systems and implementing partners.
The Learning Project consortium is led by The Kaizen Company, which brings private-sector innovation to organizational development and transformation. The consortium also includes:
- MSI, with decades of LME and CLA expertise;
- IBM, a leading technology and consulting firm, to provide data analytics and custom software;
- Premise Data, which harnesses crowdsourcing, machine learning, and artificial intelligence for timely access to insights;
- Lead Beyond, a leadership development firm; and
- The Pardee Center, with a custom data modeling platform that forecasts country development outcomes across human, social, and environmental systems.
Kaizen’s Learning Analytics Activity sets a new standard for CLA practice, facilitating the transition of Ethiopia and Djibouti to democratic, prosperous, and resilient societies. By sharing our practices with implementing partners, host country governments, donors, and others, we contribute to a stronger regional development community and drive sustainable, impactful change.
