Monitoring and Evaluation for Development Results Training (Virtual and Onsite)

Why do governments, NGOs, Foundations, CBOs, and other organizations roll out projects and programmes in different sectors? It is because they want to make an impact in the lives of the target audiences/ beneficiaries through thoroughly thought-out series of actions whose end result is improved livelihoods and quality of life

How do they ensure they meet this objective? This is done through effective monitoring of these programmes so as to ensure that they are still on course and if they aren’t, take actions that take the projects back on track. This training aims to enlighten the participant on the entire process of monitoring of projects and evaluating them to ensure that the intended development related results are continuously achieved.
