⚠️ Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Avoid generic M&E experience that isn't tied to health programs or underserved populations—Intelehealth needs sector-specific expertise.
  • Don't overlook the 'learning' aspect: focusing only on monitoring and evaluation without showing how you've facilitated learning and adaptation.
