Workshop Invitation to the Practical, Project Management, Monitoring and Evaluating for Development Results

The Results-based Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning workshop will provide you with a practical and theoretical understanding and implementation of the Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning. It’s suited for developing M&E systems in programmes and projects to ensure attainment of desired results.

Successful programs and projects begin from a pre-planned series of activities and events. However, things rarely work out exactly as planned. Managers must therefore periodically monitor selected indicators and measure performance during
implementation so they can make timely adjustments where necessary, as well as subsequently determine the extent to which the program or project achieved its objectives
