In 2020, we were commissioned to support Development Initiatives to create a new Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning (MEL) Framework to complement and apply to their new 10 year strategy.
The collaboration involved developing new tools, templates and approaches for how DI’s many, data driven projects and programmes can organise themselves around established theories of change, create monitoring plans, and a regularised system for periodic evaluations of their impact. DI conducts research, partnerships and advocacy work around the globe, focused on the use of data and evidence to end poverty, reduce inequality and increase resilience. Staff training and dedicated support to apply the framework to DI’s programmes also helped to embed the new framework across the organisation.
