Demand-Driven Delivery

Integra understands that demand-driven projects (like USAID LEAP III) have broad mandates with unpredictable pace.
Their numerous management challenges including resource allocation, variable quality level, and technical inconsistencies
require systems and approaches that are specifically designed to respond and deliver.

Specializing in demand-driven analytical, capacity building, and learning projects, Integra has a proven track record of handling complex assignments with a broad range of technical expertise under stringent deadlines. Our Management systems and approaches are specifically designed to provide the highest caliber expertise, rigorous monitoring practices, and sound financial controls, ensuring we meet expectations for quality, schedule, and cost management.

Proven analytical methodologies.

We apply fit-for-purpose analytical tools that provide strong evidence-based analysis that is academically grounded, field-tested and results oriented. All of our assessments follow rigorous guidelines or checklists, and all field teams are thoroughly trained in advance of implementation.

A clear process for responding to buy-ins.

When a client submits a request, Integra develops an Activity Authorization Requests (AAR), outlining the outcome focused scope of work, proposed staffing plan, and budget for the activity.

Defined quality control processes.

Integra designates three accountability roles for every activity:  (1) Technical Lead, (2) Operations Lead, and (3) Quality Assurance Lead.  Each role has clearly defined terms of reference and key performance indicators.

Quickly scaling up and fielding expert teams at short notice.

Integra quickly scales staff up and down based on the size of activities. We can rapidly mobilize simultaneous teams across multiple disciplines by leveraging our global network of subject matter experts. Integra has the administrative and management capacity to field teams in country within one month of an activity starting.

Leveraging Local Partners.

Integra partners with local firms on every analytical assignment possible. We quickly tap into local knowledge to understand local cultural, institutional and political dynamics, and to facilitate low cost interview logistics and data collection.

Example: We partnered with a local firm In the Philippines allowing us to interview over 150 people in six locations throughout the country in a three-week period. As a result, the work was concluded well ahead of schedule.

“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.”
