In this issue of G&D, we examine the topic of Gender, Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning (MEL) from a gender equality and women's rights perspective, and hope to prove that a good MEL system is an activist's best friend! This unique collection of articles captures the knowledge of a range of development practitioners and women's rights activists, who write about a variety of organisational approaches to MEL. Contributors come from both the global South and the global North and have tried to share their experience accessibly, making what is often very complex and technical material as clear as possible to non-MEL specialists.
