Monitoring, Evaluation, and Learning

Climate change is a major threat to sexual and reproductive health outcomes and service delivery mechanisms, putting the health and well-being of millions of people around the world at risk. Responding effectively to the challenges posed by climate change often requires innovative approaches that blend diverse intervention strategies to strengthen access to care, reduce risk, and adapt to a changing world.

As SRHR programming and interventions shift in response to climate change, so too must our strategies for monitoring, evaluation, and learning (MEL). Doing so is critical for accountability, learning, and cost-effective investment.

This framework is a practical resource to strengthen MEL for integrated climate-SRHR interventions. We created this guide for funders and organizations working to improve SRHR outcomes in climate-affected regions. Within it you will find:

  • Guidance on how to develop a robust measurement approach

  • Guidance for selecting indicators and conducting MEL 

  • Examples and case studies to illustrate how this framework can be used

Learn more about how the framework was created.
