Development practitioners across South Asia spend years building expertise in the field. Most never get formal training in the theory that explains what they're seeing. ImpactMojo exists to fix that asymmetry. 11 free flagship courses. Development economics, MEL systems design, constitutional law, gender studies, behavioral economics, AI in development, climate science, media for development, and more.

Your MEAL team is writing indicators, designing data collection tools, training enumerators, and building dashboards for donor reports. Most of them learned entirely on the job. That's not a criticism. That's how the development sector works. But it means foundational gaps — in statistics, sampling theory, index construction, cost-effectiveness analysis — stay invisible until they show up in a failed evaluation or a rejected proposal. ImpactMojo's MEL, DevEcon, and DataViz flagship courses are designed for practitioners already doing this work who need the theory that explains it. 13 modules. Excel exercises. Case studies from MGNREGA, ASER, and Indian health programs. For teams: custom training programs and three-day workshops on 38 topic areas. hello@impactmojo.in #MEAL #MEL #MonitoringAndEvaluation #NGOCapacity #DevelopmentSector #TeamTraining

MEL for Development: what 13 modules actually cover. 1 · Foundations — why evaluation is political, not just technical 2 · Theory of Change — causal pathways, assumptions, counterfactuals 3 · Indicators — SMART, and why SMART alone isn't enough 4 · Results frameworks — log frames, results chains, the choice between them 5 · Sampling — when random matters, when it doesn't, what you lose either way 6 · Quantitative data collection — survey design, Likert pitfalls, recall bias 7 · Qualitative methods — IDIs, FGDs, observation, what each is actually good for 8 · Data quality — field supervision, back-checking, cleaning 9 · Analysis — from cleaned data to finding 10 · Experimental design — when to run an RCT, when not to 11 · Adaptive management — learning loops in practice 12 · Reporting — writing for donors versus writing for learning 13 · Digital MEL — apps, dashboards, the case for and against automation Free. 65-term interactive lexicon.

Every development practitioner working on NREGA, the Food Security Act, the Forest Rights Act, or RTI is working with constitutional provisions every day. Most have never actually read those provisions. Understanding why the basic structure doctrine prevents certain amendments, how PIL works in practice, why Article 21 keeps expanding, and how environmental law intersects with resource rights — this changes how you design programs. Not because you're doing legal work, but because the rights infrastructure shapes what's feasible. Constitution and Law for Development Practice: 13 modules grounded in real case law. Covers the basic structure doctrine, PIL, Article 21, reservations, forest rights, digital rights, and climate justice.
