Monitoring and Evaluation of Water Sanitation and Hygiene WASH Programmes Training

FineResults Research Services would like to invite you to take part in our upcoming workshops on Monitoring and Evaluation & Project Management courses at our FineResults Research Services training facilities in Nairobi, Kenya.

11/11/2024 To 15/11/2024 Monitoring and Evaluation of Water Sanitation and Hygiene WASH Programmes

INTRODUCTION

The aim of the evaluation is to generate substantial knowledge and learning on the results of a project or a programme. A good evaluation methodology is key for success of Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) programmes. Since its modest beginnings, Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) sector has become increasingly complex and multi-faceted. Monitoring and Evaluation tools and techniques plays a key role in ensuring WASH projects are designed, implemented as planned. This course will equip the participants with adequate skills to develop and manage robust M&E systems for effective management of Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) projects and programmes. Learners will be introduced to M&E frameworks, indicators as well as tools and techniques.
