All 16 papers in the Planning and M&E section of the M&E Universe have been newly revised and updated for 2025, and are available to view now.
Initially launched in 2019, the M&E Universe is INTRAC’s flagship resource for monitoring and evaluation practitioners. It comprises around 120 short papers (2-6 pages each) on a variety of M&E topics. This unique resource is made available freely as part of INTRAC’s commitment to supporting the agency of civil society organisations (CSOs).
The Planning and M&E section represents the original core of the Universe. The latest revisions bring the papers up to date, reflecting changes in the field since 2019.

What makes the M&E Universe special
Organised into nine distinct sections, every paper in the M&E Universe is written specifically for civil society practitioners, by civil society practitioners. Unlike other resources, it covers both monitoring and evaluation topics. Like all INTRAC resources, it is practice-focused.
Much more information about the M&E Universe is available on its project page, including a brief guide on how to use it.
