Monitoring, Evaluation & Learning

The MEL cycle starts with planning results then to monitor, evaluate and use these results for future planning. Planning here stands for needs assessments, stakeholder mapping, log framework/results framework development, and the conduct of baseline studies. The M&E plan is set-up for monitoring performance (activity), the results (outcome), and situation (context) that in turn is followed by a mid-term evaluation & the use thereof to then once again, monitor, evaluate, and learn for the future!
