Final Evaluation of the “Business Excellence for Sustainability and Transparency” (BEST) Program Has Begun 📈 

**Development Solutions NGO** has launched the final evaluation of the "BEST Program" (2019-2024), funded by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). This program aims to diversify and grow Mongolia's economy by improving access to financing for small and medium enterprises, enhancing economic governance, accountability, and transparency. 

IRIM successfully conducted the mid-term evaluation of the program in 2022 and is now set to carry out the final evaluation from August to October 2024. This evaluation will involve quantitative and qualitative research, gathering data from stakeholders in Ulaanbaatar and 12 provinces where the program has been implemented. The goal is to assess the program's planned outcomes, evaluate its performance, and provide recommendations for future actions.
