Monitoring and Evaluation for Results
Programmes and projects are expected to reach specific goals. They involve multiple components, each with multiple activities, sometimes implemented in various parts of the country. Those activities require monitoring and evaluation in a results-based management (RBM) context. Donors, beneficiaries and national agencies should be able to measure the progress of ongoing activities and assess outcomes. This seminar presents a comprehensive tool-kit and best practices for implementing a performance-based framework.
