about our impact

“Let me once more express our profound appreciation of the technical assistance you are providing to us and which will certainly go a long way in making a great difference in our operations and in the achievement of our mandates.”

The plan is excellent and informative. It gives a clear idea about the challenges USAID-Iraq is facing to advance its engagement with the private sector. Also, the plan reflects the flexible approach USAID is adopting to achieve its goals in that context.”

I seize this chance to congratulate [the LEAP III team] for the great job they have done with this. This plan is in line with USAID / Morocco vision, suggest many interesting actions and learning to explore, and takes into consideration the mission’s limitation in funding and human resources.”

“Integra delivered a very good product under tight timelines. The draft reports required only a modest amount of editing and revision. Presentations of findings at the end of the field missions were done well. The Integra team adhered to the schedule. In fact, it advanced the schedule for Phase II, which was advantageous both to MCC and the Compact Development Team (CDT) in the Philippines.”

The activities/tasks requested by USAID field missions and bureaus are very time sensitive and Integra has been very flexible, and they jump started the activities when they received COR [approval]. Overall, they are exceptional on schedule adherence.”

The quality of work is exceptional. They deliver reports and other results at scheduled time or early at agreed costs.”

A huge thank you for creating and executing a flawless and highly appreciated workshop. I continued to receive accolades throughout the day about how great the event was.”

Integra successfully completed the LEAP III assessment and submitted the report on time. Integra managed their activity successfully. Integra is very professional. They collected field information from different stakeholders, maintained the timeline and submitted the report on time. They were also flexible to adopt changes per our requirements and it is highly appreciated. Report quality was good, and they addressed our queries very nicely and submitted the revised version on time. Now, we’ll use the study findings in our new policy activity. Our contract with Integra was to submit one assessment report within the approved budget. After submitting the report, they told that there is some unspent money which could be used for another short assessment. Using that unspent money, Integra conducted another assessment and submitted a good report. I like their sincerity and honesty very much and I appreciate it.”

“First, thank you for your patience with me for the delayed response. Over the past few weeks I’ve been able to review the AAR several times and I think you and the team did a really great job. I concur with all its contents. It’s well conceived, thorough, and convincingly achievable. The flexibility you’ve built into it is appreciated. Thanks to all of you for your effort on this.”

LEAP III has excellent relationships with all local stakeholders, thanks to the long-term trust and relationship building of LEAP IIII’s Team Lead and their experts. The responsiveness and proactiveness of the CTO, David Quinn also contributes substantially to the smooth coordination between the project and Vietnamese stakeholder.”

“Thank you for updating the presentation which looks great to me and takes into consideration the latest information shared by GDO team…Once again, thank you for the wonderful job you have done to put together this presentation.” AND “Great Job … in terms of content and presentation.”

“What a superb job you did this morning in every way.  The introductions, the rhythm, the questions, the answers, the content, the camaraderie all excellent.  USAID’s Middle East Bureau thanks you for your participation in the PSE5 training session.  We had a great turnout, about 49 participants, and the comments thus far are 5 thumbs up.”

Integra addressed the key issues and were professional in their report writing. They were flexible and professional.”

“Also realized that my response yesterday didn’t fully capture my gratitude. THANKS SO MUCH for all the work on this especially in these trying times.”

“Thank you very much for submitting a logical and well-structured document. The ET has done a great job and came up with a comprehensive draft, we are happy to have such a substantive document with solid methodology and evaluation approaches.”

“Just took the survey. Very easy and straightforward! Thank you all for your hard work on this.”

“Integra was exceptionally responsible to USAID interests and went above and beyond to ensure that the activities of the contract and the resulting deliverables were of maximum use to USAID personnel. This entailed adaptable management of the overall project, the related fieldwork, and the sub-teams.”

Integra coordinated very well all activities related to the evaluation… Human and other resources needed to perform tasks were well identified. The contractor identified potential political unrest in the DRC during the data collection and put in place an adaptive management to mitigate that. All key personnel were well qualified and, although they were all supervised by the Team Lead, all of them were able to work independently and effectively.”

The evaluation team is very good and responsive. They have strong expertise and experiences in evaluation. The evaluation ran smoothly. The final report is over the expectation.”

“Integra successfully completed the LEAP III assessment.  They collected field information from different stakeholders, maintained the timeline, and submitted the report on time.”

“Integra’s final costs of activities (after revisions and adjustments during implementation) are normally close to the original overall budget, and in many cases, less than budgeted amount.”

“The [Integra] team, specifically the Operations Manager, has complied with all the contract requirements and submitted all necessary reports such as the weekly activity trackers and Quarterly reports in time with no need for edit. Similarly, Integra has submitted invoices on time, meeting the contract deadline every month without fail.”

“Integra teams have continued to be extremely responsive to the requests of USAID missions and Bureaus.”

“Integra Chief of Party (COP) and Operations Manager are in frequent and close contact with the Contracting Officer Representative (COR).  They also work closely with the requesting organization’s (field missions and offices of USAID/W) points of contact when preparing for and implementing each task, with frequent emails, telephone conference calls and, when in-country, personal meetings, keeping the COR and activity manager well informed. The COP and Operations Manager’s responsiveness is extraordinary.”

“LEAP III has excellent relationships with all local stakeholders, thanks to the long-term trust and relationship building of LEAP III’s team lead and their experts.”

Through the work performed under our $3.85 million Global Broadband and Innovations (GBI) program, for example, Integra leveraged $1.2 billion in contracted spending by developing country governments and private firms, all focused on bringing broadband infrastructure and services to those without access. This includes the following activities:

  • In Colombia, Integra developed a strategic framework for the national Universal Service Fund resulting in $400 million in investments under contract as a direct result of our work
  • In Indonesia, Integra advised BP3TI to invest $596 million from its Universal Service Fund to complete the Palapa Ring undersea fiber optic cable to unserved regions
  • In Nigeria, our work on broadband expansion connected over 4 million people to the Internet

As the prime implementer of USAID’s Wildlife Crime Tech Challenge, Integra has leveraged over $2.9 million in external investment for our challenge prize winners.

In the Philippines, we’ve been instrumental in the design and development of the Philippines Second Country Compact for the Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC), through our work on the Agribusiness Commercial Legal and Institutional Reform (AgCLIR) and AGMARKETS projects.

For the MCC Support for Information and Communications Technologies (ICTs) project, Integra recently conducted a review of global digital infrastructure and services and developed a Typology of Interventions, which provided MCC with an understanding of their three most likely public sector interventions in the digital space.
