Monitoring and evaluation helps track project performance at any given time and provides reasons for an observed project status. In addition, understanding how approaches in monitoring and evaluation can be modified or enhanced to optimize positive impact on the intended beneficiaries as an important. The course aimed in providing an overview of result-based monitoring and evaluation methods particularly in project. The course covers the principles and practices for results based monitoring and evaluation. This 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 course will bring learning to practice for participants to learn about the results levels and their linkage with indicators and techniques for tracking and assessing the progress of a project with the aim of achieving long term results.
