Our programmes aim to strengthen local leadership, increase community resilience and enable people to become active agents of change. We embed Monitoring, Evaluation, Accountability and Learning (MEAL) throughout programme implementation, use community feedback to improve responsiveness, and document evidence and lessons to strengthen programme quality.
