📦About: As funding and resources for inclusion and diversity initiatives become increasingly competitive, it is now imperative for every funded or impact-driven sport organisation to have a strong Monitoring, Evaluation, and Learning (MEL) strategy in place. However, MEL implementation presents a wide range of challenges. From stakeholder buy-in and diversity, to data collection mechanisms, to knowing how to effectively transform data into insights and reports, the process can be difficult for organisations of all shapes and sizes. This webinar will deliver a nuts-and-bolts, interactive space to create and implement a strategy that will work for your organisation or initiative rather than just repeating theory and jargon.

1. Have a clear understanding of how Monitoring, Evaluation, and Learning (MEL) can benefit their funding endeavors and impact.
2. Walk away with implementable actions to begin or strengthen their project or organisation's MEL processes.
