Course Content
Module I
Intro to Tech and M&E
Summary: By nature, monitoring and evaluation (M&E) is data intensive. In today’s era of ‘big data’ international aid donors and their populations are demanding greater transparency and accountability. This has led to increased importance and emphasis on M&E and ways to make the process more efficient through technology.
-
Overview of aspects of M&E and associated types of technology
-
Big Data and how it related to M&E
-
Data Responsibility
-
Open Data
Module II
Monitoring - Data Collection
Summary: Data collection is a crucial step of M&E: in order to conduct thorough analyses, the right types of data need be collected. Technology has enabled development practitioners to reach more beneficiaries and provides greater variety of data collection and storage methods.
-
Mobile data collection
-
Remote Sensors
-
Mixed Methods Approach: collection methods for qualitative and quantitative data
-
Data Storage: Excel and beyond
Module III
Evaluation – Data Analysis and Visualization
Summary: Technology has enabled dynamic data analysis based on live data. This module will focus on ways to analyze and visualize the data collected.
-
Data Visualization
-
Mapping
-
Dashboards
Module IV
Integrating Technology-Enabled M&E
Summary: M&E and technology are usually late additions to program design, almost after thoughts. They do not always receive enough budgeting and are continually required to do more. Looking beyond just technology, integrating technology and M&E into earlier stages of design can produce more effective uses of technology-enabled M&E and more competitive proposals.
