Feminist MEL & Most Significant Change (MSC): Uncovering New Approaches to Monitoring, Evaluation, and Learning
Nov 22, 2024

The evolution of Monitoring, Evaluation, and Learning (MEL) demands the integration of feminist principles and participatory methods to foster inclusivity and drive meaningful change. Feminist MEL and the Most Significant Change (MSC) methodology introduce innovative approaches that focus not only on outcomes but also on aligning these with the core values of equity, inclusivity, and social justice. These methodologies empower communities to play an active role in shaping program evaluations, resulting in richer insights and a more profound impact.

In collaboration with ResultsinHealth, DevelopmentAid hosted a transformative webinar exploring these methodologies. The session provided a detailed overview of how Feminist MEL and MSC can work in tandem to create a more participatory, ethical, and impactful approach to program evaluation. Participants gained insights into the core principles of feminist evaluation and practical guidance on implementing MSC with a feminist perspective, offering actionable strategies to elevate their MEL practices.
