Overview
A practical three-day MEAL programme for NGOs, government agencies, UN agencies and development practitioners — with hands-on use of Eval360, Vantage Africa’s AI-enabled MEAL platform.
Eval360 — Digital AI-Enabled MEAL System
As part of this training, every participant is onboarded onto Eval360, Vantage Africa's Digital AI-Enabled MEAL System built for organizations that need faster, more accurate, and more accountable M&E — without adding headcount. Participants will get guided, hands-on practice using Eval360 to:
- Digitize data collection from the field
- Auto-generate real-time dashboards and indicator tracking
- Use AI to flag data quality issues and generate draft reports
- Streamline donor and management reporting cycles
The Challenge
Donor accountability and reporting requirements that keep rising, with little time or capacity to keep up M&E staff learning on the job, without structured, humanitarian-specific training in MEAL fundamentals Fragmented, mostly manual data systems that make real-time visibility into refugee and host-community programs difficult High staff turnover and short project cycles, so institutional M&E knowledge is constantly lost and rebuilt Limited exposure to AI and digital tools that could ease the reporting burden on resource-stretched field teams
The Solution
Practical, project-based approach, not generic M&E theory, so it applies directly to your programs Delivered over 3 focused days in Nairobi, minimizing time away from work Grounds every participant in MEAL fundamentals, so knowledge stays even as staff and projects change Hands-on onboarding onto the Eval360 AI-enabled MEAL system, so teams leave already able to digitize and automate reporting Produces donor-ready logframes, M&E plans, and performance reports aligned to major donor and government requirements NITA-accredited certification plus post-training support, so the investment keeps paying off after the workshop ends
Why This Programme
M&E teams face growing reporting demands, fragmented data and pressure to produce faster insight. Participants work on a live project and leave with a practical M&E toolkit plus hands-on experience with AI-enabled reporting and dashboards.
