Description

This brief explores metrics and data from the perspective of the decision-making of public and private stakeholders in Honduras and their journey to self-reliance contributing evidence and learning from the USAID/Honduras Transforming Market Systems (TMS) Activity to JSR Learning Question # 3: 

How are countries, Missions, donors, implementing partners, and local actors using metrics and data to understand progress toward self-reliance? How are they applying this understanding?

Data and metrics are a shared need offering significant co-creation opportunities for USAID activities, with a potential to leverage public and private sector funding and to address some of the common challenges we see that affect self-reliance, as reported by Honduran stakeholders:

Paving the way for more market-based solutions for metrics and data can strengthen the ability of the local system to solve its current and future development challenges. The brief offers several tactical areas for having a systemic affect on data and metrics:

  • Bridging silos to support coordinated action in data and metrics initiatives,
  • Integrating data into decision-making through advocacy and communication channels,
  • Building trust and quality and objectivity through independent research institutions.
