SayPro System Integration: May SCLMR-1 Once-Off M&E Integration Project

Project Overview

The SayPro System Integration – May SCLMR-1 is a strategic initiative under the SayPro Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning (MEL) Royalty, specifically implemented by the SayPro Monitoring and Evaluation Monitoring Office. This once-off integration project aims to embed Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) tools and practices into SayPro’s existing marketing workflows and digital platforms. The goal is to enhance data-driven decision-making, increase accountability, and provide real-time insights into marketing performance and impact.
