Monitoring, Evaluation & Learning
Understand what is changing, why it matters and how to use the evidence. JAQTAF helps organisations connect programme design, monitoring, evaluation and learning with the decisions they need to make.

Make evidence useful throughout the programme.
A programme can produce regular reports without answering its most important questions. Are activities reaching the intended people? Are outcomes changing? What needs to be adapted? We help clarify those questions and build proportionate ways to answer them.
How we can help
Theory of Change and results frameworks
Clarify intended outcomes, pathways of change, assumptions and the evidence needed to test them.
Monitoring systems and indicators
Develop practical indicators, data collection tools, reporting routines and responsibilities suited to available capacity.
Programme evaluation
Scope baseline, mid-term, end-line or process studies around agreed questions, appropriate methods and the evidence available.
Learning and capability
Facilitate reflection on findings and strengthen teams’ ability to interpret evidence, identify limitations and agree actions.
Typical deliverables
- Theory of Change and results framework
- MEL framework with indicator definitions and data sources
- Data collection tools and reporting templates
- Evaluation design, findings report and practical recommendations
- Learning workshop and prioritised action plan
Outputs and methods are agreed in the brief and tailored to the assignment.
