Monitoring, evaluation, and learning (MEL) is at the heart of implementing programs including the Foundational Literacy and Learning Assessment (FLANA). Monitoring involves routine tracking of program resources, activities, and results, and analysis of the information to guide program implementation. The periodic evaluation reports during the mid-term, and/or final assessment and analysis of ongoing or completed programs provide key information useful for reflection and continuous improvement of a program’s ability to achieve results. A number of different processes and methods (qualitative and quantitative) and a variety of tools are put in place to facilitate effective MEL functions. Specific indicators are identified early at the planning stage and used during implementation to monitor progress in achieving the set goals and evaluate the achievement of the expected outcomes and impact.
