NOTE: many indicators are required to disaggregate by youth and gender with specific targets for each group, in places there is also a requirement to identify Indigenous People and Afro-Colombian (IPAC) populations. The indicators that will require disaggregation and will be used to track progress on cross-cutting issues are not repeated in this table. Additionally, there will be a requirement for disaggregation by migrants and returnees to understand the reach of our programming to these groups outside of the Special Objective. Lastly, USAID/Colombia has designed a way to tag interventions impacted by and directly in response to COVID-19 in its Monitor database.

USAID/Colombia uses context indicators to monitor when conditions in Colombia change in a manner that may require programmatic adjustments and changes. The context indicators below are shared for the IDIQ holder’s awareness. USAID/Colombia and its Implementing Partners together collect this information often utilizing third party sources. USAID/Colombia will work with the IDIQ holder to determine the relevant context indicators that it will be responsible for when finalizing the Activity Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning Plan (AMELP).

Learning Questions USAID/Colombia has identified learning questions to answer through the five years of its strategy. This IDIQ will be involved in assessments and evaluations to help answer these questions. To the extent practical, the IDIQ holder is asked to consider these questions in the structuring of its own monitoring performance systems to assist in these future assessments and evaluations.

1. Are migrants, receptor communities, and Colombian returnees ‘better off’ than they were at the beginning of the CDCS due to USAID interventions?

a. What was the contribution of USAID/Colombia’s coordination mechanisms on migrant integration?

b. How did integrated, geographically co-located Venezuelan programming and coordination work in practice?

c. What are the best ways / essential actions for effective integrated programming?

2. What USAID/Colombia strategies and interventions were more effective at increasing economic opportunities in receptor communities? Why?

3. What USAID/Colombia strategies and interventions were more effective at strengthening public health and education systems for migrant communities? Why?

4. Did USAID/Colombia’s strategic decision to create a special objective with a specific population in a specific geography deliver results? How did other offices (with interventions in different locations) address migrants and integrate into their programming?

5. What are the impediments to women's empowerment in Colombia? Looking across the diverse ways we address gender (as standalone Activities; integrated in Activities with other focus; in rural areas; in urban areas), what best practices can we scale up?

6. How has the increased participation of Afro-Colombian and indigenous populations strengthened social cohesion, civic engagement, and responsible governance of natural resources?

7. What has been the contribution of USAID/Colombia’s private sector engagement and GDAs to achieving its CDCS goals? How can this be leveraged for greater impact in the next CDCS?

8. How has USAID/Colombia implemented the Digital Ecosystem Country Assessment (DECA)? How has the use of digital solutions deepened the impact of interventions? Did any of the digital solutions enhance the scalability of USAID activities? What impact has USAID/Colombia interventions had on closing the digital divide in Colombia?

9. How did digital interventions, initiated in response to COVID-19 transition into on-going interventions? How sustainable were they?

10. How can USAID/Colombia best strengthen local capacity and self-reliance through awards and sub-awards? Could some sub-awardees that fulfill some features defined by the Mission be prepared and trained to be strengthened to become prime awardees?

11. How has USAID/Colombia utilized metrics and data to understand Colombia’s context and drive decision making and intervention adaptation? How has it encouraged Implementing Partners to utilize data for adaptation?
