This course empowers participants with the methods and insights to create, implement, and sustain Monitoring, Evaluation, Accountability, and Learning (MEAL) systems that drive program success. Based on the book "Developing Monitoring and Evaluation Frameworks" by Anne Markiewicz and Ian Patrick, the course blends conceptual understanding with hands-on methods and frameworks. Participants will learn to design logic models, develop theory of change, align indicators with objectives, and integrate data for adaptive learning. Real-world case studies and participatory methods make this course especially relevant to practitioners working in complex development, humanitarian, and social sectors. By the end, participants will not only know how to design MEAL systems but also how to ensure they support transparency, accountability, and evidence-based decision-making.
By the end of this course, participants will be able to:
This course uses a participatory and practice-based approach. Learners will engage in case studies, group discussions, and collaborative exercises that simulate real-life MEAL challenges. Interactive workshops will guide participants in developing MEAL methods such as logframes, KPIs, and reporting templates. Daily reflection and review sessions ensure alignment between theory and application. Peer feedback and instructor-led critiques allow for continuous improvement. Each session encourages active learning through experiential techniques to foster both individual and organisational capacity building.
No formal qualifications are required. However, familiarity with project planning or evaluation concepts is beneficial.
Each day's session is generally structured to last around 4-5 hours, with breaks and interactive activities included. The total course duration spans five days, approximately 20-25 hours of instruction.
While both methods are used to map program strategy, a Theory of Change outlines the causal pathway from inputs to impact, often including assumptions. A Logic Model provides a more structured visual representation with indicators and activities, often used in MEAL frameworks.
Unlike many MEAL training programs that are either overly theoretical or method-heavy, "Designing Effective MEAL Frameworks" strikes the perfect balance. This course uniquely integrates systems thinking with practical methods like logframes, stakeholder analysis, ToC models, and evaluation matrices. It focuses not only on M&E, but also equally on accountability and learning, which are often underrepresented. With a strong emphasis on participatory design, adaptive use of data, and organizational learning, participants leave with actionable frameworks they can apply immediately. Real-world case studies, facilitated peer learning, and practical templates make this course stand out for professionals who seek to design MEAL systems that are strategic, inclusive, and responsive to dynamic environments.
