Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) of an organisation’s policies, strategies, operational and development activities provides government officials, development managers, and civil society with better means for learning from past experience, improving service delivery, planning and allocating resources, and demonstrating results and progress towards anticipated outcome and impacts as part of accountability to key stakeholders and external partners.
The programme is intended for senior public service, NGO management, programme and project co-ordination staff that are involved in, or hve responsibility for, monitoring and evaluation within their organisation and particularly across development programmes and projects. It is designed to ensure M&E practitioners have the skills and understanding of M&E issues and be able to assist in tracking the significant resources – financial, technical and human – that are utilised by national governments, international aid agencies and NGOs in support of development programme initiatives such as capacity building projects.
The programme will enable participants to identify measurable and quantifiable output results and outcomes against pre-determined objectives and targets and mechanisms for improving impacts.
