INTRODUCTION
Monitoring, evaluation, accountability, and learning (MEAL) are part of everyday program management and are critical to the success of all. Without an effective MEAL system we would be unable to track progress, make adjustments,
discover unplanned effects of program, or judge the impact that we have made on the lives of those with whom we are working. It also helps individuals and teams to be accountable to stakeholders through information sharing and developing a complaints or feedback
mechanism which can help to guide program implementation. This training introduces participants to MEAL concepts and practices. It will stimulate ideas on how to design and implement monitoring and evaluation processes that strengthen accountability and learning,
and so promote project, program and strategy effectiveness
