Introduction to ILP’s Metrics and Evaluation System
By Subhash Pochareddy
ILP drives a wide array of efforts to enable children’s education from preschool to high school and beyond. In an effort to quantify our efforts ILP has designed Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) that provide objective and real-time view of progress to us, and to our NGO partners. These KPIs help ILP to objectively evaluate the impact that we are making to improve the schooling, learning outcomes, and to provide career guidance and more.

ILP’s Journey
It was the year 1989 and we had an impressive visitor from India. The handout for his talk, spoke about the need for action. The speaker was none other than Dr. Parameshwara Rao. Dr. Rao had a simple yet powerful message. He said – if we don’t do anything, by year 2000, every second illiterate in the world will be an Indian! This stirred up a bunch of us and we felt something needed to be done. This led to the formation of ILP in 1990, registered as a non-profit in Chicago, United States. As a first step, we decided to support Dr. Rao’s own organization BCT. Supporting BCT, gave ILP the right background and experience to support many literacy and education projects across India.
