Impact & Past Performance

The numbers that prove it worked.

Hive's advisors embed inside partner agencies and stay long enough for the results to hold — then prove the outcomes with hard data. Here is what that model has produced.

Case Backlog Reduction · One Year

Forensic Evidence Archive Indexed

Multi-Agency SOPs Codified

Caribbean Jurisdictions Supported

Consecutive DS/ATA Course Awards

RSS Member States Served

Forward Border Security

Extending the U.S. border outward.

Hive embeds with the regional targeting centers that intercept threats before they reach U.S. shores — detecting narcotics traffickers, fraudulent travelers, illicit cargo, and irregular-migration networks, in coordination with partners including CBP, ICE, EUROPOL, and INTERPOL.

Recognition & Validation

Independently recognized.

Data for Diplomacy

Co-nominated with INL Bridgetown for a U.S. Department of State Data for Diplomacy Award for innovative use of data to identify border security gaps and guide strategic reforms.

USCTOC Recognition

The U.S. Commission on Transnational Organized Crime reviewed INL Bridgetown programming and recommended Hive's project components as models for the northern and southern Caribbean regions.

"The quality of products and services have produced significant measurable results. Hive International's staff and advisors have developed key mentoring and advisory relationships and trust across the region leading to meaningful, transformative, and legacy-building INL engagements."

The M&E Difference

Program intelligence, not compliance reporting.

Hive currently leads M&E for INL's Western Hemisphere Programs across the Caribbean — and treats evaluation as a tool to improve programs in flight, not a box to check after the fact.

Our practitioners bring hands-on expertise with INL's DevResults platform — including supporting one of its first pilot rollouts in the Eastern Caribbean — alongside change maps, disaggregated indicator frameworks, Kirkpatrick Level 2/3 evaluation, and qualitative synthesis in NVivo. We produce Power BI and Tableau visualizations that give clients and field teams real-time visibility into program performance, and quarterly data reports that have set the standard for qualitative and quantitative reporting across the hemisphere.

And the rigor is measurable: across three Eastern Caribbean programs and eight reporting periods, Hive's reporting captured 535 evidence lines — 40% carrying a direct outcome or impact signal, a portfolio steadily moving beyond activity reporting toward documented results.

Featured Case Study — ILEA Roswell

A global alumni network, built and sustained.

From 2017 to 2023, Hive developed and ran the ILEA Roswell Strategic Alumni Engagement Program — training support, alumni outreach, and M&E for the International Law Enforcement Academy. We turned a training roster into a living network and tracked it through to real enforcement outcomes.

The work

Transnational organized crime ignores borders — and a global pandemic made cross-border cooperation harder still. Hive sustained ILEA Roswell's executive symposia and model-law agenda without losing momentum, pairing senior officials with U.S. interagency experts (FBI, ATF, DEA, FWS, ICE, DOJ) and a leadership curriculum built to move policy at home.

In 2021 alone, that meant nine executive policy symposia training 287 senior officials from 34 countries — delivered through sister academies in San Salvador, Budapest, Gaborone, and Bangkok, and the West Africa Regional Training Center.

The outcomes

Hive didn't just deliver training — we tracked it. Sustained outreach and M&E captured 134 documented success stories from 55 countries, tying ILEA training to real-world enforcement results:

1,386 arrests and 769 prosecutions
440 warrants obtained
856 forfeitures
885 victims identified or assisted

From classroom to courtroom — representative alumni

Uganda

The chief magistrate of Africa's only specialized wildlife court worked with the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service and DEA on a landmark trafficking extradition — charging four defendants in a conspiracy tied to the poaching of dozens of rhinoceros and more than a hundred elephants.

Mexico

A state specialized human-trafficking prosecutor — recognized as a U.S. State Department Trafficking-in-Persons Hero — has driven 941 trafficking investigations, 152 indictments, and 73 convictions, and opened three new shelters for victims.

El Salvador

An investigator and transnational-crime analyst, partnering with the U.S. National Center for Missing & Exploited Children, helped prosecute a cross-border child-exploitation case that ended in multi-year prison sentences.
