Spanish to English Bus/Financial Management Social Programs M&E (Monitoring and Evaluation) impact report
Hi fellow colleagues,

I've been translating this text for a while, and CONSULTED doesn't sound quite right. How about SURVEYED (as a process)?

Por ello, es interesante analizar los resultados del Estudio 2010 presentado por ZIGLA, donde el 87% de los representantes de las instituciones consultadas en el Perú, manifestó reconocer la utilidad e importancia de contar con información de resultados de programas anteriores como instrumento para la toma de decisiones vinculada a la planificación de sus propias intervenciones.
