Program Overview

Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) has a substantial impact on project outcomes, as it helps enhance the quality of the project and minimize the risk of project derailment and failure. It serves as the foundation for successful project implementation. Detailed monitoring helps to ascertain whether a project is being carried out as scheduled and planned, while evaluation enables project managers to determine the extent to which a project’s goals have been achieved. M&E also helps determine project variance from set goals and strategies to ensure that the project remains on course. With effective monitoring and evaluation, lessons learned during project implementation can be documented to inform and improve future programs.

Additionally, the Monitoring and Evaluation course will guide participants in measuring the development impact of implemented projects.

Objectives

To upscale skills in M & E tools and applications and methodology. Teach the M&E framework for measuring development impact and enhance skills to advise and develop M&E frameworks for specific projects. The course will also sharpen skills in development project reporting and reviewing.
