Monitoring, Evaluation, Accountability and Learning (MEAL)

Better Futures for Children’s programs are grounded monitoring, evaluation, accountability and learning (MEAL). To provide comprehensive MEAL services, we rely on multiple techniques to examine the myriad relationships among different types of data.

Better Futures for Children incorporates monitoring and evaluation at all phases of our program design s to ensure accountability and learning and to ensure that research and program activities produce useful results.

We view program design, planning and implementation and MEAL as inseparable activities. In addition, collaboration between project designers and local stakeholders in outlining the process helps to ensure the relevance, sustainability and avoidance of duplication of evaluation activities.
