The Outcomes-Based Monitoring and Evaluation Implementation short course will provide you with a practical and theoretical framework for understanding and implementing the monitoring and evaluation (M&E) process in the operational business environment. While it may be biased towards developmental work, it nevertheless provides knowledge that is especially suited to the aim of M&E programmes, projects and performance in a bid to generate the desired results in an organisation. The course takes a closer look at concepts of M&E, problem analysis, results-based management, M&E readiness assessment, frameworks, selecting indicators, outcome statements, data-related considerations, techniques for monitoring and analytical categories of evaluation.

• undertake a problem analysis
• develop results chains and logframes
• determine relevant indicators and data necessary for M&E
