In the Right2Grow partnership, World Vision has joined forces with five other international NGOs and over 25 local civil society organizations in Bangladesh, Burkina Faso, Ethiopia, Mali, South Sudan and Uganda. Together we are amplifying marginalized voices to get to zero undernutrition and zero people without access to basic WASH services. The program is funded by the Dutch government 2021 to 2025. In order to measure the progress towards the envisaged goal, Right2Grow has a MEAL strategy including principles of adaptation, usefulness, decentralisation and co-creation as well as the combination of qualitative and quantitative approaches to collect and analyse data to be used for learning, steering and accountability. Additionally, we also want to ensure the recognition and visibility of the contribution of local and national actors. Collaboration within the Right2Grow partnership is based on equal relationships and the vision of working with local partners, having both INGOs and local CSOs engaged. The Global M&E lead is expected to promote this.
