MEL with Purpose is an institute established by the Policy Research Institute, Sàrl, to empower organisations working in development and humanitarian contexts to thrive as learning organisations, building a culture of continuous improvement for stronger programmes and strategic growth. We aim to help organisations use Monitoring Evaluation and Learning (MEL) skills to strengthen their structures, projects, programmes, and the results they deliver.

These courses are designed for all staff, not only MEL specialists, so that teams across programmes, operations, management, and leadership can better reach their goals and report on them in a clear, evidence‑based way.

Expert Review

Empowering Change, one Insight at a time!

Evaluation has much to offer development organisations but potential benefits are limited by evaluation being seen as the preserve of a separate tribe of evaluators. These courses covers what everyone in international development needs to know about MEL. It clearly demonstrates what MEL has to offer and has practical guidance on how to make it work for the benefit of the people and groups we serve. Key issues and ideas are communicated in an accessible and engaging way in bite-sized sections that will make sense to staff and management. I have no hesitation in recommending this course for organisations who wish to put MEL to work to strengthen accountability and delivery.

We make MEL simple, accessible, and actionable

MEL is not scary

We will make MEL clear and easy to understand— you will get simple, practical ways to use it in your daily work, understand your results, and explain the difference you make.

Unlock insights to drive real change

We have built on decades of worldwide, multi‑sector experience evaluating organisations, programmes, projects and policies to develop an approach that puts organisational reflection at the centre of achieving better results – clarifying goals, improving activities and demonstrating meaningful change for stakeholders.
