Capacity 1: Real-time MEL

Reinforcing or developing the capacity to design and implement real-time Monitoring Evaluation and Learning – MEL meets the requirement of projects to combine learning and accountability.

Developing an ad-hoc Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning (MEL) system and selecting best-fit tools helps to work with a Theory of Change and make use of it to improve log frames, build spaces for learning and critical reflection in project activities, and track and monitor capacity outcomes.

Real-Time MEL also helps to demonstrate the contribution of capacity-building outcomes to impacts and demonstrate the project contributions to the overall DeSIRA Initiative. It also provides for purposeful communication.

On this page, you can find details about training provided by DeSIRA-LIFT SA1 on the matter.
