Abstract

As globally operating social sector organizations, transnational NGOs face complex challenges relating to monitoring, evaluation, accountability, and learning (MEAL). This chapter provides an overview of MEAL in the transnational NGO sector, explains the logic of impact evaluation, introduces important concepts, outlines commonly used evaluation designs, and offers a performance management framework based on the principle of outcome accountability. The chapter also addresses relevant controversies, considers the catalysts and obstacles to quality MEAL in the social sector, and provides guidance for managers and leaders interested in strengthening MEAL capacity within their organizations.
