MEL Approach in Livelihoods, Gender & Youth

Our livelihoods MEL approach emphasizes market systems and recognizes that sustainable impact requires changes in market relationships, not just individual beneficiary outcomes. We use gender-disaggregated indicators throughout and employ mixed-methods approaches that capture both quantitative economic indicators and qualitative dimensions of empowerment. Our evaluations assess sustainability by examining changes in market systems and institutional practices beyond program timelines.
