The Social Behavior Change, Adolescent and Youth portfolio continues to expand in both scale and complexity, its monitoring, evaluation, and learning (MEL) requirements have evolved far beyond traditional output-level tracking, which demands a sophisticated, performance-oriented M&E approach.

These complex outcomes necessitate tailored tools, integrated indicator frameworks, and advanced data analytics to generate credible evidence and actionable insights.
