MeL

The Monitoring Evaluation & Learning (MeL) SaaS platform helps CSOs and other grassroots agencies gather uniform data to effectively measure and analyse the impact, effectiveness, and efficiency of projects that tackle Modern Slavery, Human Trafficking and Child Labour. This in turn enables them to communicate effectively with stakeholders and pinpoint interventions in real time to maximise impact. Organisations subscribe to the platform and this enables their users to create projects and activities on their phones, with pre-defined templates to allow for standardised data collection. ​Users can also add qualitative observations in free text as well as upload related documents. MeL has the potential to transform manual, costly frontline data capture and reporting on modern slavery. Key benefits include: Accessible, cost effective and user friendly: addressing low literacy and tech literacy challenges Dynamic and versatile: allowing delivery partners to co-design and adapt assessment criteria iteratively Clear and timely data: quickly analyse the effectiveness and weaknesses of programme activities in real time Adaptive learning: pinpoint where key changes can be made within programme delivery to improve outcomes Concise evidence base: determining what does and doesn’t work to inform future planning, strengthen relationships with funders and secure longer term funding Consistency and sustainability: enable successful approaches to be taken forward efficiently and adapted for other contexts
