ABOUT THE MONITORING, EVALUATION, AND LEARNING (MEL) TEAM 
In recent years, FRIDA has undergone significant organisational transformation as we advance the implementation of FRIDA’s Strategic Plan 2020-2030 and Strategic MEL Framework. With continued shifts in the philanthropic ecosystem and a growing need to strengthen our resource mobilisation efforts, it is  critically important for FRIDA to collect,analyse, and learn from the data and insights shared by  our community of  grantee partners. Doing so allows us to be accountable to our work, and to communicate clearly and boldly the impact that FRIDA and our grantee partners have on the philanthropic sector and the wider global social justice movement.

To do this, FRIDA is looking to design and maintain monitoring, evaluation, and learning systems and structures that facilitate data collection, management,  and analysis across teams. The systems should be robust enough to be utilised long term across the organisation, adaptable to the ever changing nature of our work, and supportive of all teams across FRIDA to fulfill impact-driven reporting requirements, amplify the critical work of FRIDA’s grantee partners, and allow for internal reflections and learnings on organisational strengthening.
