Our team has provided long-term MEL support to the Swiss Import Promotion Programme (SIPPO), a SECO-funded initiative that strengthens export promotion services through partnerships with Business Support Organisations (BSOs) across 11 countries. Our support has spanned multiple countries and project phases over the last few years, contributing to the design, improvement, and institutionalisation of SIPPO’s MEL and MRM systems.

Key areas of work include:
• Designing country-specific MEL systems and tools, such as in Serbia and Tunisia.
• Developing and rolling out the Organizational Capacity Assessment (OCA) tool.
• Supporting impact-level KPI development and measurement.
• Facilitating OCA workshops, diagnostics, and training across several countries.
• Producing guidance documents, digital forms, and data visualization tools.
• Providing hands-on technical support to BSOs like CEPEX (Tunisia), MMAF (Indonesia), and GICA (Tunisia).
