We provide capacity building and training services to enhance your organization’s Monitoring, Evaluation, and Learning (MEL) as well as its Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) capabilities. Our hands-on workshops and training sessions cover various aspects of MEL, including research design, data collection techniques, data analysis, and reporting. We work with your team to strengthen their skills, foster a culture of learning, and improve the quality and utility of MEL outputs.

A comprehensive capacity building and training program could involve a series of workshops that cover both Monitoring, Evaluation, and Learning (MEL) and Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) topics. The workshops could be tailored to meet the specific needs of the organization and cover a range of topics, including

  • Introduction to MEL concepts and principles
  • Integrating DEI into MEL frameworks and indicators
  • Data collection methods and tools, including culturally sensitive approaches
  • Quantitative and qualitative data analysis techniques, with a focus on disaggregating data by demographic groups
  • Reporting and disseminating MEL findings in a way that promotes DEI
  • Developing and implementing DEI strategies and action plans
  • Identifying and addressing implicit biases within the organization
  • Fostering inclusive leadership and decision-making processes

We can also assist with developing a ‘toolkit’ of MEL and DEI resources customized for your organization. This toolkit could provide a valuable resource to support capacity building and training efforts. The toolkit could include tailored templates, checklists, and guidelines that cover various aspects of MEL and DEI, such as:

  • Developing inclusive MEL frameworks and indicators
  • Conducting DEI-focused evaluations and impact assessments
  • Collecting and analyzing data with an equity lens
  • Engaging diverse stakeholders and communities in MEL processes
  • Promoting a culture of learning and continuous improvement around DEI issues

Offering a combination of these comprehensive capacity building and training approaches can help organizations enhance their MEL and DEI practices, creating more inclusive, effective, and impactful programs and initiatives.
