NA-Online
About the Event
CLEAR-AA and MERL-tech's “Digital MERL in the time of Covid-19” aim to address broader themes of MERL and technology through the lens of the current COVID-19 situation. The conversation takes place between CLEAR-AA''s partner and friends. We will host an hour and a half virtual events on three different themes, including breakaway virtual "rooms" for further interrogation on the key points from the theme discussions. Cases and learning from this event would be written up to feed into a broader future assessment of capacity, systems, and training needs for better use of administration data for evaluation.
