We desire to be highly accountable both to our donors and beneficiaries. PMEAL function can play a crucial role in showing our social accountability and most importantly, making changes in the lives of people.
However, there are factors that contributing to the success and (possibility) of the failure of our entire operation.

In practice- we may be able to deliver the changes we have been intended to make, however there are more to capture. There are facts and both positive and negative unintended changes beyond lines and boxes of the traditional logframe we are using that are left uncaptured. We need to learn and to be more adaptive toward emerging social phenomenon in thesociety.
