INTRODUCTION
Participatorymonitoring and evaluation (PM&E) is designed to recognize and
include communities as important stakeholders in data collection and
evaluation. It expands the notion of accountability to answer not only
whether organizations are fulfilling the terms of the funding they
receive, but also whether they are fulfilling the needs and goals of the
communities they serve. PM&E requires including community voices in
monitoring and evaluation, and building the capacity of community
members to become active partners in this process. This training aims
enhancing the use of Participatory Monitoring & Evaluation
(PM&E) for Development Projects/Programmes
