Company Profile: Kimetrica's mission is to increase the impact of social spending and improve the quality and accountability of service delivery in the non-profit sector. We do this through the provision of a range of management tools, data, and training services for Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) and for Disaster Risk Management (DRM). We help governments, international organizations, NGOs, and community organizations make decisions based on the best available information. Typically, our clients have specialized information needs that go beyond the capabilities of conventional business intelligence and management information tools. Kimetrica provides bespoke solutions to organizations with missions that are bigger than just making profits, and who need to know more than just the bottom line. Much of our work focuses on measuring performance for complex projects and on managing risk in highly unstable and disaster-prone environments.
