MANAGING AND ANALYSING MONITORING AND EVALUATION DATA FOR DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMMES

INTRODUCTION

This course covers the principles and practices for results-based monitoring and evaluation for the entire project life cycle. This course equips participants with skills in setting up and implementing results-based monitoring and evaluation systems including M&E data management, analysis and reporting. The participants will benefit from the latest M&E thinking and practices including the results and participatory approaches. This course is designed to enable the participants to become experts in monitoring and evaluating their development projects. The course covers all the key elements of a robust M&E system coupled with a practical project to illustrate the M&E concepts.

DURATION

10 Days

COURSE OBJECTIVES

By the end of this course the participants will be able to:

  • Develop project results levels
  • Design a project using logical framework
  • Develop indicators and targets for each result level
  • Track performance indicators over the life of the project
  • Evaluation a project against the set results
  • Develop and implement M&E systems
  • Develop a comprehensive monitoring and evaluation plan
  • Use data analysis software (Stata/SPSS/R)
  • Collect data using mobile data collection tools
  • Carry out impact evaluation
  • Use GIS to analyze and share project data
