LEAP III: Learning, Evaluation, and Analysis Project

The LEAP III Project is a mechanism for United State Agency for International Development (USAID) field missions and bureaus to easily and cost-effectively access rigorous, independent, and high-quality analytical services to support economic and policy analyses, strategy and project design, monitoring and evaluation, training, and knowledge management.

LEAP III provides field support for analytical staff when specialized expertise in an area of analysis is required.

It also provides a vehicle for USAID to support capacity building for USAID staff, partner governments, and civil society counterparts.

Assistance can be provided across all sectors, including economic growth, agriculture, education, womens empowerment, environment and infrastructure.

Under LEAP III, missions can request a range of analytical services, including: Cost-Benefit and Cost-Effectiveness Analysis; Macroeconomic and Public Financial Management Analysis; Performance Evaluations; Impact Evaluations; Policy Analysis Matrix Methodology; Inclusive Growth Diagnostics; and Political Economy Analysis.
