M&E Starter Kit for NGOs in Africa — 7 Essential Tools + Google Sheets Bonus

Most NGOs in Africa lose funding not because their programmes fail —

but because they can't prove they worked.

Without a solid M&E system, you can't demonstrate impact, can't attract

donors, and can't improve your programmes over time.

But building an M&E system from scratch is overwhelming — especially

when you're already stretched thin managing field activities.

That's exactly why I created this guide.
