MEAL workspace on the grant hub
Collect evidence, verify quality, and report to donors from one MEAL workspace
The MEAL module extends your grant hub with portfolio dashboards, dynamic collection forms, safeguarding registers, and export packs — configured per tenant through MEAL policy in Settings.
Portfolio view
Cross-grant MEAL dashboard with donor filters, exports, and submission inbox.
Field collection
Dynamic data forms, draft/submit flows, offline queue sync, and partner collect links.
Quality & safeguarding
QA sampling, indicator verification, PSEA register, and audit trail on grant MEAL tabs.
MEAL built for NGO accountability
Monitoring, evaluation, accountability, and learning on the same UUID grant record programmes and finance already use — with tenant policy controls in Settings.
Data collection
Assign forms to indicators, collect in the field or via partners, and approve submissions from the MEAL inbox.
Logframe & IPTT
Activities, indicators, milestone links, IPTT/Kobo import, and donor pack exports per grant.
Accountability loop
Community feedback, learning actions, narrative reports, and escalation to case management when needed.
Quality & safeguarding
QA sampling, verification records, PSEA incident register, and MEAL audit log for reviewers.
Built for the sector
NGO MEAL workspace vs spreadsheet M&E trackers
Collection forms, QA sampling, and donor exports live on UUID grant records — not disconnected Excel files emailed before donor deadlines.
| Capability | Spreadsheets + Kobo + email | This platform |
|---|---|---|
| Data collection | Separate Kobo forms reconciled manually to indicator frameworks | Dynamic forms linked to grant indicators with draft/submit and approval inbox |
| Quality assurance | Ad hoc spot checks with no audit trail | QA sampling, verifications, and MEAL audit log on the grant hub |
| Safeguarding | PSEA tracked in restricted folders outside the ERP | PSEA register with confidentiality tiers and tenant MEAL policy defaults |
| Donor reporting | IPTT rebuilt in PowerPoint each quarter | IPTT import, portfolio exports, narrative reports, and donor packs per grant |
Comparison reflects typical out-of-the-box behaviour of horizontal ERP suites versus this product’s built-in NGO data model.
