Description

If you’re a humanitarian or global development professional, you need to know how to use MEAL (monitoring, evaluation, accountability, and learning). Why? Because if you don’t know, the work won’t be carried out as effectively. And you’ll also continue to wonder why others on your team or in partner NGOs are asking for certain data or talking about accountability management. The more you understand, the more likely the project will succeed, and your mission will move forward. Our MEAL Dpro training provides you with all the skills and knowledge you need.

Beyond understanding, you’ll gain tools and templates you can use going forward.

Completing this course gave me a deeper appreciation for the role of accountability in development work. It reinforced that effective projects are not only monitored and evaluated, but are also accountable to everyone they serve and work with, especially beneficiaries, partners, and other stakeholders. The course challenged me to learn, unlearn, and relearn key MEAL concepts. I especially appreciated the practical case studies in each modules, the engaging discussions with professionals from around the world, and the live webinars that enriched the self-paced learning experience.
