Monitoring, Evaluation, & Learning
We are entrusted by our member countries to deliver meaningful results, and with that trust comes the responsibility to demonstrate how well we are doing.
This means putting in place a strengthened monitoring, evaluation, and learning (MEL) system that reflects international good practices and results-based management.
But an MEL system alone is not enough. Its effectiveness depends on the organisational culture that surrounds it. We are committed to fostering a culture of performance: one in which accountability is not just about meeting targets, but also about learning, adapting, and continuously improving.
Most importantly, we are placing the voices of our beneficiaries at the heart of our work. We will regularly gather feedback from member countries, implementing partners, and other stakeholders through internal and independent assessments to ensure our work remains responsive to their needs.
Communications
Strengthening the brand of the Commonwealth by sharing our story will remain at the heart of our communications efforts.
The revised communications strategy will seek inspiration from the Strategic Plan, and our outputs will help people understand what we do, why it matters, and the difference that we are making to the lives of the 2.7 billion people across the Commonwealth.
The strategy will draw on the lessons learned from operationalising the previous communications strategy, as well as some of its key achievements. These include significant social media traction, positive traditional media coverage, a strong measurement and evaluation culture, and the establishment of a Commonwealth Communicators’ Group (CCG). The CCG, which harnesses the strength of our Accredited Organisations, will consolidate the Secretary-General’s vision of leveraging partnerships for building and showcasing results, as well as ensuring consistency of messaging across Accredited Organisations and partners.
