Supporting Collaborative and Joint Assessment, Monitoring and Evaluation, Analysis, and Learning (MEAL)

Supporting Collaborative and Joint MEAL in Integrated Child Protection and Education Programming is a practical supplementary collection designed to help practitioners strengthen Monitoring, Evaluation, Accountability, and Learning (MEAL) across Child Protection in Humanitarian Action (CPHA) and Education in Emergencies (EiE).

Extracted and expanded from the Supporting Integrated Child Protection and Education Programming in Humanitarian Action Guidance Note (2026), this resource brings together concrete tools, indicator frameworks, and guiding questions to support more coherent, child-centred, and integrated MEAL approaches. It includes examples of theories of change, curated indicator frameworks aligned with the CPMS and INEE Minimum Standards, sample MEAL tools and templates, and critical questions organized by key programmatic areas and socio-ecological levels.

Designed for programme managers, MEAL specialists, and coordinators, this collection supports evidence-informed decision-making, shared learning, and accountability—helping ensure children do not fall through the gaps between sectors and that integrated programming delivers meaningful, measurable impact for children and communities.
