Welcome to the MEL with Purpose podcast — a space created for staff working in civil society organisations engaged in development and humanitarian action. Our goal is to make Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning, or MEL, more accessible, practical, and purposeful for everyone — not just specialists. This podcast is part of the MEL with Purpose Academy, an initiative by the Policy Research Institute, Sàrl. The Academy was established to help organisations strengthen their ability to learn, adapt, and grow. We believe that strong MEL practices are not just about reporting — they’re about building learning organisations that continuously improve and achieve greater impact. Through our episodes, we’ll explore how MEL can help your organisation design stronger programmes, manage projects more effectively, and report results in a clear, evidence‑based way. Whether you’re in programmes, operations, management, or leadership, this series is for you. Join us as we demystify MEL and show
