Online Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning

Overview

Do you need to build effective monitoring, evaluation and learning (MEL) into project and programme work for both accountability and learning? This course will strengthen your skills in supporting the monitoring and evaluation objectives of your organisation, from programme design through to evaluation and impact assessment.

This course is designed to develop your understanding of the principles and practice of effective MEL, explore examples of MEL approaches and tools appropriate to different types of interventions and contexts, and help you to tackle MEL challenges that you may be facing. The course ensures that you will have a thorough understanding of MEL concepts, build both your core practical skills and the confidence needed to do MEL effectively.

I’d highly recommend INTRAC’s Online Monitoring Evaluation and Learning course – it gives a comprehensive approach to all the key elements of project monitoring and evaluation. Celeste Gomez, Programme Officer, IDEA International, Paraguay
