How do we set up a simple M&E system for a small CSO?
We collect loads of data — attendance registers, photos, feedback forms — but honestly none of it feeds into anything useful. When donor reports are due we kind of write up what we remember happening rather than drawing on solid data. I know we need a proper M&E system but everything I’ve read seems very complicated and designed for big organisations with dedicated M&E staff. We’re a team of five. Is there a genuinely simple approach that a small team can actually stick to? What are the absolute basics?
