The ENABLE programme has leveraged the findings of the evaluability assessment to strengthen its monitoring and learning systems. Initially, the project lacked baseline data and had no consolidated monitoring framework. To address this, the programme assigned a National Project Coordinator and a Monitoring Assistant to focus their efforts on building, consolidating and documenting progress and achievements. As part of revising the logframe and Theory of Change submitted for the no-cost extension, ENABLE also developed a comprehensive M&E framework, which has been submitted to the EU and approved as part of the NCE package. This framework specifies the indicators, data sources, frequency of data collection and responsibilities for systematic progress tracking, ensuring closer alignment between programme results and national priorities. In parallel, the programme is in the process of contracting an M&E service provider (by December 2025) to support the collection of endline data, particularly for impact and outcome indicators that require large-scale surveys and analysis. This will strengthen the robustness of evidence generation and ensure that ENABLE can measure results against its revised ToC and logframe. Finally, a structured learning component was embedded into ENABLE’s M&E framework during the no-cost extension phase- It has been presented to the EU as part of the NCE proposal under the title of "Adaptive use and learning". The approved framework now serves as both a compliance and adaptive learning tool, featuring quarterly reflection workshops, regular meetings, and feedback loops with implementing partners to track progress and document lessons learned. These mechanisms ensure continuous adaptation of implementation strategies based on field evidence and support collective learning across partners.

Recommendation 2: DEVELOP A MONITORING AND LEARNING FRAMEWORK. • Addresses: ENABLE team , implementing partners • Priority: High • Resources: Low -medium • Timing: Short Justification: Building on the revised logframe, ENABLE should develop a monitoring plan to track progress, assess achievements, and inform adaptive management. While aiming to keep it simple and manageable, the plan should clearly specify what will be monitored, how it will be done, and who will be responsible. The recommendation also includes developing a straightforward learning component for ENABLE to better identify and document lessons learned to generate useful knowledge for the project implementation. Implementing partners should be involved in all the discussions to agree on how to better track progress and on how to identify and exchange lessons learned to generate useful knowledge for the project implementation.
