MEAL Approach
MEAL approach aims to emphasis the collection and use of data to support decision making, accountability and continual improvement. It seeks to ensure programs are not only Monitored and Evaluated, but beneficiary opinions are actively listened, quality of activities assured assessed against minimum standards and findings shared with relevant stakeholders and explicitly feedback into program decision making, incorporating Accountability and Learning. MEAL hence represents a practical and conceptual step beyond routine monitoring, learning and evaluation.
