Accountabilities include: 

• Conducting, overseeing and guiding data collection efforts, including baseline, mid-intervention and post-intervention studies for each CITC programme to ensure MEL processes allow for maximum delivery programme efficacy. 

• Conducting regular statistical analysis of data sets to indicate correlations and treatment effects within output, outcome and participant characteristic information for both accountability related reporting and internal learning functions 

• Scaling up, refining and systematising CITC monitoring systems to allow more efficient tracking of program results to inform reflection processes
