Home Impact Monitoring and evaluation

Monitoring and evaluation (M&E) are indispensable for maximising impact. By providing a structured framework to track progress, assess outcomes, and generate evidence, M&E helps organisations understand what works, what doesn’t, and why – enabling informed decisions that improve effectiveness and drive meaningful change.

Monitoring and evaluation

GALVmed’s M&E function is designed to support the organisation’s strategy by generating timely, actionable insights that inform evidence-based decisions. Through data collection and analysis from the field, and assessment of Net Economic Benefit (NEB) from product uptake, M&E helps ensure GALVmed’s initiatives are impactful, contextually informed, and aligned with its goal of improving the livelihoods of small scale livestock producers (SSPs).

M&E is grounded in learning – using data not just to measure, but to adapt and improve implementation. This learning mindset ensures the organisation stays responsive to context and focused on delivering meaningful impact. GALVmed’s M&E aims to:

  • Maximise the organisation’s potential for impact by supporting scalable, profitable market systems;
  • Build a compelling evidence base to demonstrate the value of animal health for improving livelihoods;
  • Deepen contextual understanding through collaboration, field studies, and landscaping;
  • Prioritise learning by feeding insights into strategic decision-making and communicating the “so what” of findings both internally and externally.
