Winrock International 2012 Global Projects & Financial Statement In 2012, Winrock’s board of directors moved to officially name the headquarters in Little Rock, the “Frank Tugwell Building.”
Charting the Course Every organization needs leadership to guide and direct its course. For the last 14 years, Frank Tugwell has provided this leadership, guiding Winrock during a time of unprecedented growth and change, particularly the last five years which saw revenues double and program beneficiaries increase fivefold to reach 4.5 million people in a year. In 2012, Tugwell announced his retirement.* As an academic, in addition to his role as chief executive officer, Tugwell’s legacy includes lessons about the importance of applying sound science to make an impact in our world. A crucial piece of this scientific approach to our work is continuous measuring, monitoring and evaluation.
* On April 1, 2013, Rodney Ferguson succeeded Frank Tugwell as Winrock’s new president and CEO.

To fulfill our mission of addressing some Tugwell has said that despite the daunting of the world’s most pressing challenges — challenges facing the world, this is “a climate change, hunger, inequality, poverty very exciting time.” He said, “We’re going — Winrock needs the tools to measure what to have to find a stable basis for human works and why. Monitoring and evaluation existence on this planet, and getting tools help us track progress toward goals involved in that transition — helping think and targets, evaluate the strengths and about it and design answers — is really an weaknesses of different approaches, and incredible privilege.” Rigorous monitoring improve program design and implementation and evaluation will be crucial in designing in the future by applying lessons learned answers and meeting the challenges ahead. in varied contexts and cultures. In recognition of Tugwell’s commitment to Winrock is on a continuous journey of innovation, technology and sustainability, improving the effectiveness of its monitoring the Winrock board of directors has named and evaluation systems. We believe we have Winrock’s headquarters in Little Rock, a responsibility — to our funders, partners, among the first LEED-certified buildings in and, most importantly, to the beneficiaries of Arkansas, the “Frank Tugwell Building.” The our projects — to grow and learn from our board has also endowed an award, which experiences. Monitoring and evaluating the will be given annually to a Winrock staff results and outcomes of our many projects person who has demonstrated fresh and annually is the first step in a learning process novel approaches to Winrock’s mission — that leads to both continuous improvement effectively embodying the spirit of Tugwell’s and the ability to scale up effective solutions. dedication to sound science and innovation. www.winrock.org | 2012 Global Projects & Financial Statement 3 Xiao Yan (left), M&E specialist for the Tibetan Sustainable Environmental Resources for increased Economic Growth (TSERING) project, interviews trainees participating in a youth pre-employment training program.
Measuring Success and Evaluating Outcomes Leads to Improved Impact Winrock International’s project work, both in the United States and around the world, supports our larger mission to “empower the disadvantaged, increase economic opportunity, and sustain natural resources.” Demonstrating our accomplishments in these areas takes more than an activity report. Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) is the process by which we show that our actions in the field have been effective, and have led to real, meaningful results in terms of increased capacity of local partners, improved livelihoods, and greater autonomy and security for the world’s poorest.
Systematic and objective M&E processes allow Winrock to evaluate the relevance, efficiency, effectiveness and sustainability of a project, which construct the foundation for improved project planning, decisions and activities going forward. Our M&E systems are supervised by a team of host country and international specialists working in countries around the world to produce high-quality management data and analysis that demonstrate the positive impacts occurring in communities where we work. M&E also provides the feedback needed when new methods and tools are being tested, and the evidence required to win support for widespread replication of successfully proven approaches. Here, we introduce some of the professionals who fill this critical role.
