Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning 101 Training successfully conducted

A 1-day Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning (MEL) 101 Training was successfully hosted on 14th March by the Australia Pacific Climate Alumni Network (APCAN) which benefited about 23 network members representing government, academic, civil society organisations and youths. 

This is in response to the growing demand for MEL professionals across the Pacific region, and keen interest from our network members in Solomon Islands following a MEL networking event hosted in Honiara late 2023.

The training which was facilitated by Ms Ruth Maetala, a seasoned MEL expert and researcher, had provided participants with the opportunity to learn about the basics of MEL including its principles and different aspects of MEL including but not limited to understanding the MEL cycle; data collection methods and methodologies; project design and how it links to your MEL plan.

APCAN was also honored to have Mrs Alice Iwebu Kale, director for Program Quality Division at the Ministry of National Planning and Development Coordination (MNPDC) who've set the scene for the training and provided a presentation on the national development strategy (NDS) and its link to MEL from the government lens.
