2. Marketing Workflow Integration

• Pre-Campaign Planning: Marketing teams now select M&E indicators at the planning stage, ensuring alignment with overall objectives. A new Campaign Planning & Indicator Mapping Form was implemented.
• Ongoing Monitoring: Weekly tracking of campaigns using integrated dashboards, allowing for real-time adjustments based on data insights.
• Post-Campaign Evaluation: Using Post-Campaign Evaluation Summaries, campaigns are reviewed and analyzed with detailed metrics for continuous improvement.

3. Staff Capacity Building

• Training: Conducted multiple training sessions on using M&E dashboards, interpreting key indicators, and adjusting campaigns based on data insights.
• Documentation: Distributed job aids, FAQs, and indicator guides to ensure ongoing reference.
• Continuous Learning: Ongoing monthly training sessions on advanced M&E analytics for marketing teams.

4. Feedback and Continuous Improvement

• Regular Feedback Loops: Bi-weekly check-ins and monthly reviews with marketing staff to assess dashboard usability, gather insights, and refine the system.
• System Updates: Based on feedback, additional filters, data visualization options, and mobile-optimized views were incorporated into the dashboards.

4. Integration Outcomes

1. Data-Driven Decision Making

• Marketing teams now consistently use data insights to guide campaign decisions. For example, campaign adjustments (e.g., content type or targeting) are now being made in real-time based on performance indicators from M&E tools.
