RESULT-BASED MONITORING AND EVALUATION

Result-based monitoring and evaluation (M&E) is a powerful approach that can be used to help policymakers and decision-makers track progress and demonstrate the impact of a given project, program, or policy. Result-based M&E differs from traditional implementation-focused M&E in that it moves beyond an emphasis on inputs and outputs to a greater focus on outcomes and impacts with techniques for linking and tracking indicators to assess the progress of a project to achieve long-term results. 

This Result-based monitoring and evaluation course equips participants with skills in setting up and implementing results-based monitoring and evaluation systems. The participants will benefit from the latest M&E practices including the results and participatory approaches. This Result-based monitoring and evaluation course will bring learning to practice for participants to learn about the results levels.
This Result-based monitoring and evaluation course will provide participants with M&E tools, techniques, and resources needed for planning, organizing, and/or managing programs and projects. Through exercises and group work, participants will learn the links between results-based measurement, monitoring, and program evaluation. Time will be allotted for practical exercises and informal question and answer sessions around common M&E problem areas. Participants will also be provided with additional Resources for further study and research in the M&E field.
