Monitoring and Evaluation for Development Results Training (Virtual and Onsite)

Introduction

Monitoring is a continuous process of gathering and reviewing data to see how effectively an initiative, program, or policy is being carried out compared to the planned outcomes. Monitoring helps to provide managers and other key stakeholders with frequent input and early signs of progress (or lack thereof) toward achieving the desired outcomes.

Evaluation determines the importance and achievement of goals and their performance, efficacy, effects, and long-term viability. An assessment should include reliable and valuable information, allowing beneficiaries and donors to incorporate lessons learned into their decision-making processes. This training aims to enlighten the participant on monitoring and evaluating projects to ensure that the intended development-related results are continuously achieved.
