Today's guest Patrick Regan, Founder of Rights Evaluation Studio, an independent monitoring and evaluation consultant, who brings a wealth of experience from his work with health and human rights organizations, sheds light on the importance of monitoring and evaluation (M&E) in the non-profit sector and how to make the most of a limited MEL budget.

We explore the critical elements of monitoring and evaluation (M&E) in non-profit organizations and Patrick shares lots of practical tips for making the most of a restricted M&E budget.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

A theory of change is a crucial tool for non-profits to articulate how their activities will lead to long-term impact.

Non-profits can implement a robust M&E system even with limited resources by prioritizing data collection and involving staff with relevant skills.
Effective communication of M&E findings to donors requires a combination of quantitative and qualitative information, tailored to the preferences of the audience.

BEST MOMENTS

"Monitoring and evaluation is a combination of applied social research and project management principles and practices."

"Stories are often the most compelling way to understand impact."

“… if you have a very scientific donor, they're probably not going to want the story stuff. They're going to want a lot of hard statistics.”

“A lot of resources can be spent sometimes at the wrong time, which limits the impact that budget could have….”
