Who We Are
The Panagora Group is a rapidly expanding woman-owned small business providing novel solutions in health, development and learning. Panagora Group?believes that focusing on novel and integrated approaches to health and development will yield the best long-term results. Panagora Group is establishing a new office in Pretoria, South Africa and is looking for creative, results-focused self-starters who can deliver under pressure and work collaboratively as a team.



Background

The Monitoring, Evaluation, Research and Learning (MERL) activity supports United States Agency for International Development (USAID)/South Africa’s Health Office by working collaboratively with the members of the office to achieve their overall goals by creatively finding innovative solutions, supplement their existing staff capacity and complement, and as appropriate enhance capacity in performance management; evaluation and research; and systematic collaboration, continuous learning and adaptive management.



As one of the principal agencies responsible for the implementation of the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), USAID shares the Government of South Africa’s and PEPFAR’s strategic focus that utilizes quality epidemiologic results and budget data to ensure accountability, learn from experience, gain efficiencies, and maximize impact on the TB and HIV epidemics. This approach hinges on continually collecting and analyzing high quality data and using these data to strategically focus resources, improve implementing partner management, and replicate best practices and efficient interventions.

By bolstering MERL capacity, this activity seeks to support USAID’s Bilateral Health Office to meet MERL objectives for its HIV and TB programs and ultimately to achieve results across its specific health areas. In leading the MERL activity, the Panagora Group seeks to flexibly and rapidly respond to USAID’s needs as they arise by working with a wide array of South African consultants and institutions that are creative problem solvers specializing in many aspects of monitoring, evaluation, research and learning.
