In August 2022, The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) awarded International Business Initiatives Corp. (IBI) the Evaluation and Survey Services Plus (ESS+) ??contract to support USAID/Haiti and its partners with evaluations, survey and study support, capacity building and learning events, and in-country third-party monitoring (TPM). TPM helps USAID to better understand project results and the complex Haitian development context (including institutional norms and behaviors) through data collection and analysis. Unlike most USAID activities, ESS+ is demand-driven and depends on the Mission to identify its monitoring, evaluation, and learning (MEL) needs.

USAID requested that ESS+ conduct TPM for its Interim Energy Support Program (CIP-ESP). The program helps the Government of Haiti (GOH) ensure continued operation of the power plant at the Caracol Industrial Park (Parc Industriel de Caracol).
