INTRODUCTION
Monitoring, 
evaluation, accountability, and learning (MEAL) are part of everyday program 
management and are critical to the success of all. Without an effective MEAL 
system, we would be unable to track progress, make adjustments, discover 
unplanned effects of program, or judge the impact that we have made on the lives 
of those with whom we are working. It also helps individuals and teams to be 
accountable to stakeholders through information sharing and developing a 
complaints or feedback mechanism which can help to guide program implementation. 
This training introduces participants to MEAL concepts and practices.  It 
will stimulate ideas on how to design and implement monitoring and evaluation 
processes that strengthen accountability and learning, and so promote project, 
program and strategy effectiveness
