Monitoring and Evaluation

This training program is designed for donor funded projects. Many donor funded programs would like to monitor their programs during their implementation phase in order to measure the level of achievement, milestones, responsible personnel performance as well as other factors.

Monitoring and evaluation provides answers to questions regarding the output, effects and impact of the project in regards of the target population. It establishes the necessary linkage across a set of activities undertaken in project planning and management: identification of problems, feasibility study, design of the project, approval process, organization, implementation and supervision processes, completion, evaluation and follow-up.

Information secured through monitoring and evaluation must be relevant, i.e. geared to specific needs of project managers; timely, i.e. available and accessible at the time decisions are taken; and accurate, i.e. reliable and empirically verifiable. Participants will learn to determine the relationship between project inputs, activities and outputs as well as the influence of external factors on program performance, in order to improve project management.
