Oxford Policy Management - Improving lives through sustainable policy change - Monitoring, Evaluation, Accountability, and Learning (MEAL)

6 Monitoring, Evaluation, Accountability, and Learning Based across five continents, we are a global team of experts specializing in the production and use of information and evidence to provide governments, donors, and other development partners with the context- specific insights they need to improve the design, implementation, and assessment of policies, programs, and services. [...] We are leading this consortium to manage the HHMEL mechanism to accomplish a multi -pronged approach: (1) to provide robust evidence that monitors the performance of implementing partners through a range of in-person and remote primary data collection; (2) to support learning through the delivery of structured learning cycles with both FCDO and implementing partners; and (3) to be responsive to em. [...] The impact evaluation of the first phase of HSNP provided a comprehensive assessment of the performance and impact of the program for the benefit of implementers, funders, other stakeholders, and those interested in cash transfers more generally. [...] The evaluations provided crucial information about the impact and performance of HSNP in order to both support the accountability of the program to its funders (including Kenyan taxpayers) and inform the design of future phases of the program and wider cash transfer initiatives. [...] This has proven to be an effective and efficient way to collect, process, and store information that relates to the program logframe achievements, and compiles different information received from the different program partners and links them to the program components, countries, and the evidence of the achievement.
