MERL brings monitoring, evaluation, reporting and learning for climate and environmental projects into one portfolio. The public pages show project information; staff workspaces support data entry and review.

Open Explore Projects and filter by project name, county or scope, institution, sector, and financial year. Select Read more for a preview or open the full project profile.

New / Not Started means implementation has not begun; Ongoing means work is underway; Completed means the project has been closed with completion evidence; Stalled means delivery is paused. A status is not the same as a report approval.

Public financial completion compares amounts in approved reports with the recorded project budget. If there are no approved reports or no usable budget, MERL shows “Not yet verified” rather than implying zero delivery.

Reports can be submitted and still under review. Only approved report summaries appear on the public site; staff see review queues within their authorised workspaces.

Financial years run from 1 July to 30 June. For example, 2026/2027 covers 1 July 2026 through 30 June 2027.

Data Collection Officers record project activities, indicators, evidence, challenges and lessons in the staff reporting form. Selecting an activity for observation does not automatically mark it complete.

Supported staff reporting forms can retain a draft on the device and synchronise when a connection returns. Stay signed in on the same device and do not clear browser data before confirming that the report was submitted.

Use the document groups and filters above to browse national policies, county plans, regulations, circulars and general reports.

Sign in with the appropriate staff role and use the project edit or report correction workflow. Public visitors cannot change project records; contact the responsible MERL team if a published detail appears inaccurate.
