1. Introduction

Strategic collaboration between SayPro’s Marketing Department and the Monitoring, Evaluation, and Learning (MEL) team is essential for ensuring that all marketing efforts directly support SayPro’s core mission and measurable outcomes. In May 2025, SayPro strengthened internal coordination between these departments to align messaging, improve targeting, and track the real-world impact of communications and campaigns.

• Use MEL data to drive campaign narratives, highlight successes, and prioritize communication goals.
• Enable real-time feedback loops to adjust strategies based on learning and evaluation results.
• Build a shared language of impact across the organization’s internal and external communications.
