About this session

This webinar is the fifth and final session of the webinar series “From Theory of Change to database design for evidence-based decision making”. It is a one-hour session ideal for Monitoring and Evaluation professionals or Program Managers who are interested in developing a MEAL plan and a system to support it. We base the session on a specific scenario to make the presentation easier to follow.

In summary, we explore:

• What is the MEAL plan?
