Pakistan programs / Pakistan project 391-0492 · 1987–1994 · Chemonics International Inc.
The International Executive Service Corps (IESC) is a nonprofit nongovernmental organization that was set up in 1964. The IESC started its operations in Pakistan in 1984 and by the end of 1990 had completed 81 projects. In this report, Management and Financial Applications (Private) Limited (MFA) evaluates the effectiveness of IESC's operations. A survey of 35 IESC projects revealed the following. (1) 44% of clients felt that benefits were either equal to or greater than the costs, another 25% said that the benefits were less than the costs, and the remaining 31% were not sure. (2) There appears to be no discernible increase in the average cost of the project over time. Instead, the receipt of USAID funding in 1988/89 has allowed the IESC to cater to smaller clients at a lower cost. (3) Larger clients pay significantly more than smaller clients for Volunteer Executive (VE) services. (4) The majority of clients were introduced to the IESC through personal contact with the IESC representatives. (5) In most cases, the IESC expert did not face any problems. However, 28% of the clients responded that IESC experts faced some problems, including host organizational and environment

When the program ran, from its start year to the latest document year. A hatched bar means the start is our estimate.
Axis: award years, end from years in documents. The start year comes from award fiscal year; the end is the latest document year, so the program may have run longer.
