According to the Mission Motor:

• high interest in and perceived need for MEL
• probably greater need for modularised MEL tools rather than building complete systems
• Small data so more qual than quan
• They stopped doing a cohort model because no size fits all

Experts indicate spending between 3 and 20% of a program budget on MEL is deemed adequate for ensuring accountability, assessing effectiveness, and providing opportunities for learning and continuous improvement.

Why MEL fails

• MEL being complex and overwhelming
• using the wrong tools
• lack of training
• some types of interventions such as lobbying, are hard to measure
• it’s often difficult to quantify the impact

My thoughts

• Do they want to target high funding, large, but potentially ineffective orgs, because they are the highest leverage for improving MEL?
• Can tiny stats tools improve things as well as qual?
• Can Mission Motor collect org wide data that they share with all orgs to get around small data problem?
