Course Description

Monitoring occurs throughout operations while evaluations occur for different purposes at different points of the project. A solid monitoring and evaluation system is essential to provide credible results for every project to aid decision making and corrective measures. However, M & E systems need to be responsive and appropriate to the characteristics of the situation and the operation being monitored or evaluated. The lack of a systematic, holistic and practical M & E (monitoring and evaluation) system has resulted into many project failures.  Effective monitoring and evaluation activities provide the basic building blocks of decision-making, for strategic planning and resource mobilisation. It is a key measurement activity in an effort at achieving organisational effectiveness.
