LINC’s Managing Director, Patrick Sommerville said: “We are delighted for the opportunity to continue supporting USAID development work in Africa and overall monitoring, evaluation, and learning efforts.” He added: “We look forward to providing our high-quality services and products not only to the USAID/Ghana Mission, but also to its local partners and other local stakeholders. Through our work, we will strengthen the Mission’s ability to engage in evidence-based program design and increase its ability to measure, analyze, and communicate the impact of its important work in Ghana.”
