Partner Response to Implementing Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning During the COVID-19 Pandemic

The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic is having a significant impact in countries around the world, and USAID and its partners are responding to the pandemic at home and abroad. This page provides USAID's partners with a forum for sharing tools, approaches and lessons for Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning (MEL) during the global pandemic sourced from the implementing community. Inclusion on this page does not indicate endorsement by USAID. View USAID-produced resources

If you or your organization have resources to share with USAID, we encourage you to upload a resource or blog of your own. Or, you can send us an email at [email protected].

For general information on COVID-19 and its implications for USAID implementing partners, refer to USAID's Covid-19 Guidance for Implementing Partners. USAID implementing partners should also contact their Contracting Officer’s Representative(s) (COR) or Agreement Officer’s Representative(s) (AOR) and their Contracting Officer(s) (CO) or Agreement Officer(s) (AO).
