Monitoring Evaluation and Learning Framework

The Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning Framework (MELF) is the DFAT performance monitoring system for the Australian Volunteers Program. The MELF is designed to:

• Provide qualitative and quantitative data on program-level performance
• Link data collection, monitoring, evaluation, reporting and learning across the program
• Build on the existing M&E systems and procedures
• Contribute to on-going program monitoring in-country and in Australia, and
• Feed performance assessment lessons into program improvement.
