| Innovation Title | Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning (MEL): a flexible, multi-center and multi-CRP online platform for integrated management, planning, monitoring and reporting of projects and activities, knowledge management and sharing |
| Innovation description | Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning (MEL) is an integrated and adaptable online platform for projects, activities and knowledge management, performance measurement, communication and dissemination of research findings. Its multifaceted and modular structure allows customization and remodelling to meet ever-changing demands. Currently, MEL is adopted by three CGIAR-CRPs, five CGIAR-Centers, and recently by the CGIAR Excellence in Agronomy 2030 (EiA) initiative and by the Partnership for Research and Innovation in the Mediterranean Area (PRIMA). |
