Monitoring and Evaluation (Foundation)

10-14 September 2012

M&E is an essential component of international NGOs, NGOs and civil society organisations striving to continually improve their work and have greater accountability. Given the high demand in the sector, this foundation course is designed to develop individuals’ understanding of what M&E entails, why it is so vital, and how to do it well and in a participatory way. This course ensures that those who are new to M&E have a thorough understanding of M&E concepts and have built up the practical skills and the confidence needed to do M&E effectively. Participants will learn to use a range of M&E tools and activities that will help them improve accountability, learning and effectiveness of projects and programmes.

Objectives of the course

At the end of the course, participants will be able to:

• Define      the main terms and concepts associated with the processes of monitoring      and evaluating projects and programmes
• Articulate      the key purposes of M&E and be able to prioritise according to the      context
• Select and use a range of tools with confidence
• Apply      results of M&E processes to both accountability and organisational      learning.

Intended audience

This course is a foundation level for those who are new to M&E. Consultants working within the sector who have little or no M&E experience often attend these courses as do those managing staff responsible for M&E.
