develop monitoring and evaluation frameworks with civil society within each city.
develop an approach to learning and collaboration.
assess the MEL capacity of civil society.
agree approaches to measure progress and results of their work individually and collectively at a city level.
provide additional MEL capacity support.
test two different approaches in two cities to foster collaboration and learning at the city level.
Through creating and facilitating highly participatory workshops, IPE Triple Line led a process to design MEL frameworks in each of the four cities. At the centre of this work is an understanding of the context of slum development in each city and what results and impact civil society (or grantees) wanted to achieve.
identified common themes between civil society so that they could compare and measure their achievements and setbacks and identify opportunities to collaborate and learn together.
provided expertise to help the grantees identify and agree city level indicators to report against and explore areas for shared learning.
introduced appropriate tools to develop a simplified approach to measure collaboration, policy and advocacy work.
assessed collective progress and identified opportunities for collaboration in two cities.
A key component of this project was the facilitation of an in-country workshop in Kampala to road test an approach to foster grant-holder collaboration and learning.
the successful co-design and co-facilitation of collaborative and participatory workshops in four African cities.
