Monitoring, Evaluation, Reporting & Learning (MERL) are key ingredients of successful programming. These four elements work together as a system and they are closely inter-twined. If one of the elements does not work as it should, it affects the quality of information received from all the others. MERL is key in enabling us DEFINE & DESCRIBE the changes we are seeking to achieve though our projects. MERL is also KEY in enabling us KNOW if these CHANGES have taken place.
