This six-week online course brings together tried and tested techniques to design relevant Real-Time Monitoring systems for ‘learning process’ development projects and programmes. With managerial relevance comes the enthusiasm to gather, analyse and use information at the field-level while providing quality ongoing formative evaluation for policy level. Alongside innovative, flexible methods for tracking real-time progress, it also shows how to analyse and present data to interrogate physical progress of outputs for managerial efficiency and the responses at higher outcomes. Both qualitative and quantitative methods will be analysed and their powerful combination explored.
