Introduction 

It is important to develop an MEAL plan before beginning any monitoring activities so that there is a clear plan for what questions about the program need to be answered. It will help program staff decide how they are going to collect data to track indicators, how monitoring data will be analysed, and how the results of data collection will be disseminated both to the donor and internally among staff members for program improvement. MEAL data alone is not useful until someone puts it to use, An MEAL plan will help make sure data is being used efficiently to make programs as effective as possible and to be able to report on results at the end of the program
