In this special MEL Sandbox session, we introduced the MEL 360 - a practical resource to support the integration of systems thinking into monitoring, evaluation, and learning (MEL). In this session, Charles O’Malley (UNDP Senior Systems Change Advisor) reflected on the SMLE journey and how it led to the creation of the digital MEL 360, a set of MEL tools and guidance for food systems and other complex contexts. We heard from Zazie Tolmer (UNDP Systems MEL Consultant) and Andrea Estrella Chong (UNDP Systems MEL Consultant) on the core concepts of the MEL 360. We then explored practical applications of the MEL 360 within UNDP portfolios with real-world examples from James Leslie (UNDP Food Systems Global Programme Manager) and Simone Uriartt (UNDP Designer).
