How to design managerially 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 the policy level.
This new four-day advanced practical workshop assumes good prior understanding of monitoring and evaluation (M&E) principles and methods. It focuses on innovative, flexible methods for tracking real-time progress in delivery of outputs and the response of outcomes. It also shows how data can be analysed to interrogate physical progress of outputs for managerial efficiency and the responses at higher outcome levels to test project theory. By the end of this unique workshop you will be able to set up you own systems for ongoing project learning.
Why choose this course
The methods taught are based on 30 years of field experience and have
been effective in major livelihoods and microfinance programmes in India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and Malawi. It is for M&E officers and project managers who have complex projects/programmes who want to develop M&E systems primarily for ongoing learning. It is also of interest to senior programme managers, chief executives who want to improve quality and relevance of information for formative evaluation. It is especially useful when both senior and more junior staff from the same organisation come together.
What you will learn
It is essential to have a sound knowledge of current M&E practice and experience of using basic spreadsheets is also useful, for example MS Excel.
Your knowledge will be built on and extended during the four days so you can solve critical M&E problems and have the tools for more learning-based systems.
Both qualitative and quantitative methods will be used and their powerful combination explored. There will be a balance of theory and full practical exercises with plenty of opportunity to question and discuss. You will do group work based on situations familiar to your work and learn how to graphically present your results. The systems you develop during the training will be on your laptop, for you to back to your work and use. The methods you learn can be applied as stand-alone M&E methods however the power is in their integration into Results-Based Monitoring (RBM) systems.
