Planning, monitoring and evaluation in development programs requires a focus on national development priorities. The definition and measurement of intended results should respect the principle of national ownership and should strengthen both institutional and human capacities for managing development initiatives. This Course aims to strengthen results-based approaches by improving the quality of planning, monitoring and evaluation at all stages of policy making and implementation. The Course presents practical steps and examples in applying monitoring and evaluation to strengthen management for development results. Participants will leave with practical step-by-step guidance on how to prepare and carry out benchmarking, monitor outcomes and use information on program and project results to improve performance. Policy makers, program managers, ministerial strategy departments, and staff and consultants responsible for planning, monitoring and evaluation will find this course useful.
