 Kompas Guiding Safe Migration Hi, my name is Diyo Jin, Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning Officer for IOM as part of the Kompas program. Hi Tio, this is James from IOM Nigeria. I sometimes get asked how we know if what we are doing under Kompas actually works. I heard that the Kompas team recently developed a monitoring, evaluation, accountability and learning guide for the program. Can you tell me more about what that is? Hi, James, I'm glad you asked a monitoring, evaluation, accountability and learning or meal guide defines a process through which we learn whether what we are doing is making a difference. As we implement Kompas program, it is very important to understand which interventions are working well and which ones are not. This is how we learn and adapt our approach as we go along. It is necessary to identify what requires change, what the expected change will look like and finally how such change can be achieved. Through Kompas, we aim to guide safe migration and empower migrating to contribute to sustainable development in their communities. The meal guide therefore is the Kompas that keeps the program on track to reach the target objective. I can see why it's useful. What exactly are we measuring under the Kompas meal guide? Good question. We are measuring community level change, individual shift in attitude and behavior as well as change in knowledge and level of satisfaction with the services. We also look at whether the interventions adequately meet the need of beneficiaries. The meal guide defines indicators like signposts that help us know if we are on track to reach our objective and define how we recognize success or failure. So we can adjust as we go along. I feel like I've got a lot to learn about all of this. That's okay. Learning is part of the meal guide. You can find a basic overview on our website www.im.int forward slash Kompas and if you are looking for more detailed information for you or your partners send us an email at Kompas.im.int. We are using monitoring, evaluation, accountability and learning to guide safe migration better together. Thank you for watching. Kompas, guiding safe migration.
