Population Technical Assistance Project (POPTECH)

LTG provided flexible assessment, design, evaluation, and technical assistance support to USAID Global Bureau Washington and to Regional Bureaus and Missions around the world focused on population health in this 20 million dollar contract. This was a global design, assessment, monitoring, and evaluation project that provided support both to Country Missions and to USAID Washington. LTG developed program designs, evaluation plans, developed teams of staff and consultants, created instruments, fielded teams, analyzed data, and reported findings.
