This course focuses on monitoring and internal/external evaluations and shows how these processes are used to measure the results of a project. It provides a step-by-step guide on how to monitor and evaluate projects and adapt them if and when necessary.
While the emphasis of the course is on monitoring and internal evaluation, it also provides guidance on field teams that can contribute to external evaluations.
The course contributes to the implementation and practical use of Results-Based Management (RBM) which is a management strategy that focuses on performance and on the achievement of results (outputs, outcomes, and impacts)
