Workshop on Monitoring and Evaluation Systems for SME Support Programs

SME support programs provide funding, training, advisory services, and market access to help SMEs grow, innovate, and compete. They boost job creation, productivity, and economic development. M&E systems are essential to track impact, ensure effective use of resources, improve outcomes, and guide future program improvements. M&E systems have advanced through the adoption of monitoring, evaluation, and learning (MEL), monitoring, evaluation, accountability, and learning (MEAL), and monitoring, evaluation, research, and learning (MERL), enabling improved outcome tracking, strategy refinement, evidence-based decision-making, and enhanced program sustainability in government initiatives. This workshop will explore these M&E systems and address gaps by integrating core theory with practical methodologies and the best global trends and practices.
