This 10 hour live online course will enable you to prepare the ground for undertaking monitoring and evaluation and analysing the results. Designing a Participatory Results Based Monitoring and Evaluation System will help participants understand the key components for effective M&E in order to improve management performance and evidenced based decision making. The course explores how to establish the necessary framework for good M&E based on clarifying stakeholders, bringing the Logical Framework up to date, and generating a set of criteria against which to measure progress.
The course will introduce a series of data recording templates for monitoring progress and investigate the challenges of collecting baseline data. How to analyse quantitative and qualitative data and how to present the findings so that lessons can be learnt and good results can be mainstreamed and sustained will be addressed. By the end of the course participants will have gained the skills and experience to apply Results Based Monitoring and Evaluation in their work.
Participants
The course is aimed at managers and staff who are actively involved in M&E within their organisations. Participants will be able to meet, online, people from around the world who are also actively engaged in M&E and have the opportunity to work together and exchange experience and ideas. Participants will receive online tuition, technical support for using the online system, and a Toolkit.
