to be included in the semi-annual progress reports to USAID and external evaluation of the program by USAID. The preparation and submittal of the semi-annual progress reports will be
the responsibility of the In-country Director. A brief summary of the results of the two self- assessment workshops will be prepared in August 2012 as a contribution for the Year Four work-
plan. SustainaMetrix will continue to coach and support the CRC monitoring and evaluation in- country coordinator and the In-Country Director, and interface with the USAID external
evaluation team in the preparation of a planned external evaluation
In preparation for the semi-annual self-assessments, SustainaMetrix will work with the leaders of the various component teams to ensure their full involvement which may require targeted
training on the ME methods and their use, including, for example, specific coaching for the preparation of governance scorecards and other tracking tools. These needs will be identified
and scheduled to coincide with visits of SustainaMetrix staff during Year 3.
SustainaMetrix will work with the ICFG senior management team in-country and at URI as well as with the USAID selected external evaluation team to support the implementation of an
external evaluation of the program that produces not only findings about progress but also materials useful for the program’s development.

3.6 Environmental Monitoring and Compliance
The Initial Environmental Examination IEE was submitted in December 2009 subsequent to submission of the first implementation work plan. Environmental screening and monitoring
schemes were put in place in Year 1 to ensure no significant environmental impacts are occurring for those actions or projects which are identified as possibly causing minor
environmental impacts. Most activities to date fall under categorical exclusions e.g. trainings, meetings, assessments, environmental surveys. Some of the small grant activities have required
environmental screening but have resulted in negative determinations. The ICFG Initiative prepares an annual Environmental Monitoring and Mitigation Report to USAID as required as
conditions of the approved IEE.
