The training provided an excellent overview of a helpful range of different MEL methodologies that help capture the spirit and meaning of the work we do. Overall the training is a great way to help move this field into the direction of the care and attention that women human rights defenders, peacebuilders, activists, and others infuse in their work to make change. It gives us the tools and knowledge we need to honor their work and be better supporters of it and them. Thank you for making this an accessible training and providing the resource materials after!
