1. Objective

To embed SayPro’s Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) frameworks—including key indicators, outcome metrics, and feedback loops—into the CRM (Customer Relationship Management) and digital marketing platforms used by SayPro. This will ensure marketing activities are not only data-driven but also program-impact aligned, supporting real-time learning and evidence-based outreach.

2. Strategic Rationale

Marketing is no longer just about reach and branding—it must be a strategic contributor to development outcomes. By integrating M&E frameworks into CRM and digital marketing tools, SayPro can:

• Align outreach activities with programmatic goals and impact targets
• Track and optimize beneficiary engagement throughout the digital lifecycle
• Close the loop between outreach, service delivery, and learning
• Provide integrated reports that reflect both marketing performance and development value
