Monitoring, Evaluation, Accountability and Learning (MEAL) is a core system within PETRAD AID that ensures programmes are effective, transparent, evidence-based, and continuously improving.
MEAL supports stronger planning, implementation, evidence generation, accountability to communities, and practical learning for better long-term results across all programme areas.
Regular tracking of activities, outputs, and progress to ensure programmes are implemented as planned and reach intended beneficiaries in a timely and effective manner.
Assessment of programme results, effectiveness, relevance, and impact to understand what works, what needs improvement, and how interventions contribute to change.
Ensuring transparency, responsible use of resources, and providing communities with safe channels to give feedback, raise concerns, and participate in decision-making.
Using data, feedback, and experience to improve programme design, strengthen implementation, and support continuous improvement across all PETRAD AID interventions.
PETRAD AID links MEAL with the Kaizen approach to continuous improvement. MEAL generates evidence, feedback, and lessons, while Kaizen helps the organization turn those lessons into small, practical, and consistent improvements in planning, implementation, communication, service delivery, and accountability.
