This course runs from October 27 - 28, from 10:00am - 5:00pm (EST) daily
The overall goal of Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) is the assessment of program progress to optimize outcome and impact – program results. The increased emphasis on effectively managing toward favorable results demands a more comprehensive M&E evaluation approach in order to identify whether programs are favorably on track, or whether improved program strategies and mid-course corrections are needed.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.
