Certificate in Monitoring, Evaluation, Research and Learning
Course Overview
A certificate in Monitoring, Evaluation, Accountability and Learning (MEAL) will help participants realize that while collecting and analysing monitoring and evaluation information is critically important, a MEAL system is only effective when project teams use data to demonstrate and improve the effectiveness, efficiency and, ultimately, the outcomes and impact of their projects. In this way, monitoring and evaluation data should always be used to inform management decisions, which, in turn, promote accountability and learning. Accountable projects are more relevant, are more likely to be supported by stakeholders, and ultimately will have a greater impact. Learning requires that we engage different stakeholders in thoughtful discussion of what is working and what is not working, in our efforts to achieve our stated objectives.
