Monitoring, Evaluation & Learning (MEL)

Outcome measurement and evaluation for programmes and projects — helping organisations demonstrate impact, improve delivery, and communicate outcomes with credibility.

Best for

Funded programmes, third-sector delivery, schools, community projects, and SMEs running interventions.

Deliverables

  • Outcome framework and indicators
  • Simple tools, templates and reporting rhythm
  • Credible impact narrative for stakeholders

Timeframes

Setup (2–4 weeks), then ongoing support and reporting cycles (monthly/quarterly).

What we assess

  • Intended outcomes and what “success” means in practice
  • Evidence needs (funder, board, stakeholders, operational)
  • Measurement feasibility (burden, access, safeguarding)
  • Baseline, progress tracking and learning needs

How we deliver

  • Outcome framework design (logic model / theory of change)
  • Practical indicators and data capture tools
  • Reporting templates and cadence (proportionate)
  • Learning loops: what to adjust, when, and why

Outputs you can use immediately

You receive a MEL pack that staff can actually use: simple measurement tools, clear indicators, and reporting that balances credibility with delivery reality — plus optional support to interpret results and improve the programme.
