“The MEL platform is a user-friendly platform where you can do multiple tasks at once; it helps reduce duplication of efforts in collecting and reporting data, and using other platforms like ODK and being able to retrieve them in MEL.
When you report through MEL, your data can be used at project, institutional, and CRP levels—your data are immediately open for sharing with others but at the same time also protected! It is easy to plan and track results in real time and on different projects being implemented. MEL is a very useful tool for project management.”
