Monitoring, Evaluation, and Learning (MEL) is about creating, collecting, and analysing data and information on the progress, outcomes, and impact of a policy. It creates the evidence that then ideally informs the implementation or adaption process of the concerned policy, and/or feeds into advocacy efforts and the development of new policies.

This section of the policy compendium provides you with information on challenges and guidance on how to assess, monitor and evaluate, or validate policies and how the data can be used to inform new processes.
