Introduction

This module explains the importance of monitoring and evaluation (M&E) in strategic advocacy. It examines the inclusion of M&E criteria in advocacy planning, and how M&E should be carried out. In addition to the use of M&E in evaluating and improving your own animal welfare advocacy work, we will look at the important role of the animal welfare movement in assessing (and thus encouraging) policy change.

To learn how to effectively include M&E in the planning and implementation of advocacy work.
