Where we are on Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning (MEL)<\/b>
<\/span><\/span><\/span>Over the last 2
years, we have built a sophisticated MEL function, that works with large - scale
data with Alteryx and PowerBI, partners with programmes to co -design and implement impact measurement tools, has detailed Theories of Change of the organization
and programmes, and connects the dots across experiences.
In the next 3 years, we plan to leverage our impact track record and learnings,
to be a leading thought leader in the sector, and be a
role model of impact measurement.
We are involved
with one of the early Development Impact Bonds in education in India, are
working on large -scale programmes, and are staying deeply rooted in our exemplar schools as innovation grounds – all these pioneering
initiatives come together to form a strong MEL launchpad for the organization.<\/span><\/span><\/div>
<\/span><\/span>About the role<\/b>
Peepul’s monitoring, evaluation, and learning function
has evolved into a strong and technically credible backbone for the
organisation. Today, the team comprises 12 dedicated MEL professionals with
deep capabilities across quantitative and qualitative research, data management, field monitoring, dash boarding, and impact evaluation. The
team works closely with programme, academic, and leadership colleagues,
ensuring that MEL is not a parallel function but an embedded partner in programme design, execution, and refinement.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>
We have built a robust foundation of data systems across
all programmes. This includes structured monitoring and evaluation data
covering intermediate outcomes for teachers, school leaders, and government officials, alongside detailed student
learning outcome (SLO) data through internal assessments and external evaluations. Our theory of change and results frameworks
are clearly articulated at both programme and organisational levels, enabling
coherent outcome tracking across geographies such as Delhi and Madhya Pradesh.
The data collected feeds into regular reviews, informs training and coaching
priorities, supports course correction, and strengthens conversations with government and funders around effectiveness and value for money.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>
<\/span><\/span><\/span>We are now entering a new phase focused on integration, standardization, and insight generation at scale. Over the past few years, we have developed a strong suite of tools, templates, toolkits, data protocols, and dashboards. A central MEL dashboard is under development to consolidate programme data into a unified
view, streamline reporting, standardise metrics across programmes, and
strengthen leadership decision -making. The next frontier for Peepul’s MEL journey is to deepen analytical rigour, sharpen causal inference in complex
system contexts, strengthen automation and data governance, and further embed a
culture of evidence -informed decision -making across the organization. This
creates an exciting opportunity for a Programme Manager to shape the next phase
of a sophisticated and impact -driven MEL function.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>
