Implementing Flexible &
Participatory MEPAL Approaches

We are optimising value for money by designing and implementing flexible, participatory approaches and solutions which improve programme performance and accountability.

CAPABILITIES

Monitoring, Evaluation, Policy Analysis & Learning (MEPAL)

Robust policies & and programmes are data-backed and driven by strong and demonstrable evidence. Monitoring, Evaluation, Policy Analysis and Learning (MEPAL) is an established practice at IPE Global that offers cross-cutting services across various thematic areas such as health, nutrition and WASH, education and skills, agriculture, livelihoods and market systems, food systems, climate change, gender and social inclusion, and urban & rural development.

We work closely with our partners to design and implement flexible, participatory, and inclusive approaches that provide solutions to inform and improve the future delivery, design, programming, and policies. With gender and inclusion being a key component of our work, we ensure that our frameworks and tools are rooted in the best evaluative practices. We have an established track record in conducting complex and large-scale monitoring and evaluation assignments. Through our work, we help our partners improve performance and accountability so that Value for Money (VfM) can be optimised. We have delivered more than 150 MEPAL assignments globally and have worked extensively with governments (national, sub-national, and local), multilateral and bilateral organisations, philanthropies, corporate foundations, international/domestic non-governmental organisations (INGOs), and international research institutes. We also hold exclusive global and national long-term/empanelment agreements with organisations such as the NITI Aayog, the Government of India, FCDO, UNICEF, UNDP, and UNCDF.
