The Strengthening Civil Society (SCS) MEL team of the Department for Social Development at MOFA is organizing a third SCS MEL webinar on Tuesday 12 July. In this event, the SCS-team will provide an update on the baseline processes, which will be assigned to different consultancy firms. To ensure data quality and to do its own evaluation on policy and grant instrument level, the Civil Society MEL team has selected five countries and the international component (lobby and advocacy efforts at the global level) for conducting this baseline. During the webinar, there will be room to ask questions and share concerns about the baseline studies, as well as discuss opportunities and challenges related to Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning in the Strategic Partnerships. Since this is an excellent opportunity for collaborative learning, Partos encourages members of the Strategic Partnerships to join this event. Please write to SCS-MEL@minbuza.nl in case you have not received an invitation email from the SCS-MEL team.
