Summary
Bond is the UK network for NGOs and civil society organisations working in international development. Its resources section aggregates toolkits, briefings, guides, and reports produced by member organisations and the Bond team itself — covering governance, MEL, coalition building, advocacy, and organisational development.
Body
Bond connects, strengthens and champions a network of civil society organisations to eradicate global poverty, inequality and injustice [source: bond-uk]. Bond’s advocacy work helps members get their voices heard across UK development policy, with dedicated teams covering governance, equity, diversity and inclusion, climate, and civil society space [source: bond-uk].
Bond’s monitoring, evaluation and learning (MEL) resources are particularly relevant to campaigning organisations: its guidance emphasises learning over compliance, real-time adaptation over end-of-project reporting, and cross-organisational benchmarking [source: bond-uk]. The Bond network also publishes regularly on coalition governance and cross-sector partnership, topics directly relevant to the coalition-building and cross-sector-coalitions pages [source: bond-uk].
Bond has published guidance on working in politically constrained environments, managing donor relationships in shifting political contexts, and building adaptive organisations — all topics the campaign-management cluster needs [source: bond-uk].

Bond’s specific “MEL toolkit” PDF (if it existed) is no longer at its previous URL. The current Bond resources page has thematic collections but no single campaigning-MEL toolkit. The site is accessible for browsing; specific tool downloads may require further URL investigation.
