Worldwide—Microenterprise Results Reporting (MRR)

Client: U.S. Agency for International Development

Duration: 2010-2013

Country: Regional

In 2000, the U.S. Congress formally established microenterprise development as an integral part of U.S. foreign assistance strategy. DAI manages Microenterprise Results Reporting (MRR) for the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID).

With a partner web development firm, we maintain the MRR website, an integrated web-based database to collect and process accurate, timely information from missions and partners on funding, results, and other requirements (MRR Site).

We have also been increasingly successful in capturing and reporting on USAID funding and results related to previously unreported kinds of microenterprise development support, such as support to crop production microenterprises.
