MEAL involves tracking the progress of programs, adjusting and assessing the outcomes.
Monitoring, Evaluation, Accountability & Learning components are the basis of a MEAL
system. Each component is both independent and inter-related. It is helpful to consider them
as puzzle pieces, each having its unique place and purpose. But, in order to create a
functioning MEAL system, these pieces must be aligned, connected, and work together.
