Webinar: Planning for MEAL

Nov 5th 2025 UTC 13.00 - 14.15 UTC

Many smaller organizations struggle with MEAL requirements despite having excellent programs. They know donors require it but lack dedicated M&E officers or budget for complex systems. This webinar provides a practical solution.

What you will learn:

  • Build a basic but solid MEAL plan in 5 simple steps
  • Create a system that one person can manage part-time
  • Use free tools instead of expensive software
  • Focus on the essential data that donors actually need
  • Access existing indicator libraries rather than starting from scratch

What you will receive:

  • A 2-page MEAL framework template (fill-in-the-blank)
  • Links to resources (tools and indicator library that you can use immediately)
  • Basic data collection form templates
  • Checklist for MEAL plan quality
This is deliberately focused on "getting started" rather than comprehensive MEAL training. The aim is that you leave with something you can literally implement the next day, even without prior M&E experience.

How to Join
