On August 27, 2025, Mentor Arabia attended a thought-provoking webinar focused on challenging conventional monitoring & evaluation (M&E) approaches in mental health and psychosocial support (MHPSS). The session brought together experts and practitioners, to explore participatory, context-grounded, and reflective approaches to M&E. Through discussions and open dialogue, the webinar encouraged moving beyond technocratic checklists towards practices that are relational, ethical, and transformative. Participants shared insights, strategies, and resources that can help make M&E work in MHPSS more inclusive, impactful, and aligned with the realities of the communities we serve.
