MEL Glossary
The Creative Forces clinical and community engagement programs conduct monitoring, evaluation, and learning (MEL) to assess program implementation and outcomes, and support continued program improvement. The glossary provides definitions and examples, along with the source documentation and was developed to support MEL capacity building for program staff, grantees, and partners and to ensure everyone working with Creative Forces had a shared understanding of the MEL terms, definitions, and concepts used in Creative Forces. This shared understanding allows all involved to communicate effectively about MEL activities across programs and projects.
