Monitoring and Evaluation of Health Programs for Improved Decision Making

Background

Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) is the process by which data are collected and analysed in order to provide information to policy makers and others for use in program planning and project management. M&E is important because it helps program implementers make informed decisions regarding program operations and service delivery based on objective evidence. It also ensures the most effective and efficient use of resources, helps determine the success or failure of a program, and assists in meeting organizational requirements. M&E skills are crucial to the successful implementation, design, and tracking of program progress and output of various programs. This workshop offers intensive training that will cover the fundamental concepts and tools for monitoring and evaluation of various health programs.
