The programme moves beyond technical M&E to examine how senior leaders can establish effective MEL systems, strengthen organizational performance, govern evaluation functions and use evidence to influence strategic decisions. Participants explore the relationship between MEL, strategy, resource allocation, organizational accountability, programme effectiveness and institutional learning. The course addresses strategic results management, MEL governance, performance measurement, evaluation leadership, data quality, organizational learning, stakeholder engagement, risk, accountability and adaptive management. It also examines how senior leaders can communicate evidence to boards, executives, donors, government institutions and other decision-makers. Participants will develop the ability to position MEL as a strategic management function rather than merely a reporting requirement, helping organisations make better decisions, improve programme performance and demonstrate results. **Share this course:** [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Ftrustgatecorporateskills.com%2Fcourses%2Fexecutive-programme-in-monitoring-evaluation-learning-leadership) [Twitter](https://x.com/intent/post?url=https%3A%2F%2Ftrustgatecorporateskills.com%2Fcourses%2Fexecutive-programme-in-monitoring-evaluation-learning-leadership&text=Executive+Programme+in+Monitoring%2C+Evaluation+%26+Learning+Leadership) [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?mini=true&url=https%3A%2F%2Ftrustgatecorporateskills.com%2Fcourses%2Fexecutive-programme-in-monitoring-evaluation-learning-leadership&title=Executive+Programme+in+Monitoring%2C+Evaluation+%26+Learning+Leadership) [WhatsApp](https://api.whatsapp.com/send?text=Executive+Programme+in+Monitoring%2C+Evaluation+%26+Learning+Leadership%20https%3A%2F%2Ftrustgatecorporateskills.com%2Fcourses%2Fexecutive-programme-in-monitoring-evaluation-learning-leadership) ## Learning Objectives - Lead strategic MEL functions and teams. - Develop organisational MEL strategies. - Establish effective MEL governance systems. - Align MEL with organisational strategy. - Strengthen results-based management. - Improve performance measurement and reporting. - Govern evaluation processes effectively. - Strengthen evidence-based decision-making. - Build organisational learning systems. - Promote adaptive and continuous improvement. ## Course Content ### Module 1: Strategic Foundations of MEL 1.
