Monitoring and evaluation (M&E) is an essential component of any development project. It is a systematic process of collecting, analysing, and using information to assess the progress, effectiveness, and impact of a project or program.
M&E helps organizations to identify what works and what does not work in their programs, which enables them to make informed decisions about how best to allocate resources.
The purpose of this course is to provide an introduction to monitoring and evaluation.
The course will begin by defining monitoring and evaluation before discussing the importance of M&E in development projects. The course will also discuss the different types of M&E tools that are available before concluding with some key considerations for effective M&E.
