We recognise the tremendous social, economic and environmental value of data.
Over more than a decade, we’ve worked with companies and governments worldwide to advance trust in data and deliver real impact across multiple industries and sectors.
As part of this, we aim to implement a consistent and robust approach to monitoring, evaluation, and learning (MEL) across the business.
Structured MEL approaches are increasingly important to our funders, partners, and clients, and our proposed framework aligns with industry best practices. The World Bank found that projects with a ‘substantial’ MEL structure in place were 38% more likely to succeed compared to those with ‘modest’ MEL structures.
