Monitoring and Evaluation (Part 3)

Step 7: Learn and Improve

Turn results into action.

  • Use an After Action Review: What was expected? What happened? What went well? What will we change?

  • Apply a Plan–Do–Study–Act cycle: plan one change, test it, study results, act to adapt or adopt.

This creates a rhythm of continuous improvement.

Step 8: Report and Share

Reporting is about closing the loop, not ticking boxes. Share results with those who participated, supported, and delivered the activity.

A strong one-page summary includes:

  • Who took part and the context

  • What was done and how many joined

  • 3–5 headline results

  • One participant quote

  • Planned improvements for next time

  • Contact or support information

Keep tone plain, transparent, and respectful. Never share personal details without explicit consent.

Step 9: Fidelity and Ethics

Check whether the core ingredients were delivered:

  • Content notice and opt-out provided

  • Awe or perspective moment included

  • Reflection or values-based action offered

  • Grounding or present-moment cue provided

Ethics are non-negotiable: collect only what you need, store data securely, report in aggregate, and delete raw data on schedule.
