Description: The overall goal of Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) is the assessment of program progress to optimize outcome and impact – program results.
This interactive two-day course focuses on practical application and will cover: the purpose and scope of M&E; engaging stakeholders and establishing an evaluative climate; connecting program design and M&E frameworks; performance and results-based M&E approaches; data collection and methods; measuring program and success; and sustaining M&E culture.
Course participants will have a comprehensive understanding of M&E frameworks and fundamentals, M&E tools, and practice approaches. Case examples will be used to illustrate the M&E process. The course is purposefully geared for evaluators working in developing and developed countries; national and international agencies, organizations, NGOs; and, national, state, provincial and county governments. Recommended audience: Familiarity with evaluation is helpful, but not required, for this course.
