Introduction

Monitoring, Evaluation, Reporting & Learning (MERL) are key components of successful programming. The four elements work together as a system and are closely inter-twined. If one of the elements does not work as it should, it affects the quality of information received and processed from all the others. MERL is key in enabling us DEFINE & DESCRIBE the changes we are seeking to achieve though our projects. MERL is also KEY in enabling us KNOW if these CHANGES have taken place.
