TIME: Tuesday-Wednesday, 29 and 30 January, 9.00 – 17.30

VENUE: Copenhagen

In an environment of increasing competition, organisations unable to show the difference they make through their work have become increasingly vulnerable. Internal monitoring systems are often developed on a project-by-project basis to respond to donor funding requirements, discouraging the development of consistent practice across organisations.

The opportunity that a sound planning, monitoring and evaluation (PM&E) system offers as an internal learning tool and a way to become more efficient and effective is often overlooked. This course will equip participants with practical tools and give them basic guidance on how to develop and improve their internal PM&E systems.

At the end of the course, participants will be able to:

• Define the main terms and concepts associated with the processes of monitoring and evaluating projects and programmes
• Understand the purposes of monitoring and evaluation, and learn how to set up systems that satisfy multiple stakeholders
• Be able to identify characteristics of an effective M&E system
• Select and use a range of tools with confidence
• Apply results of M&E processes to both accountability and organisational learning
• Design and implement an effective and contextually appropriate M&E system
