MEAL, which stands for Monitoring, Evaluation, Accountability, and Learning, is like the project's compass.
It helps teams stay on track by keeping an eye on progress (Monitoring), figuring out what's working and what's not (Evaluation), being accountable to everyone involved (Accountability), and learning from it all to do even better next time (Learning).
It's the toolkit for success in projects and programs, ensuring they're effective, transparent, and always improving.

SMC advocates for an actor-focused approach, building upon its human rights-based perspective centered on the relationships between rights-holders and duty-bearers. This approach prioritises individuals and organisations in program design,
monitoring, and evaluation.
Actor-focused methods address complexity by analyzing the roles of various actors and considering their diverse perspectives. The emphasis lies in understanding how different actors must behave and interact to achieve the desired change, forming an actor-focused theory of change that defines outcomes as behavioral changes in social actors.
